Sorry for the bump.

I feel like Sony is way ahead on the games front here, and the casual crowd.

But Microsoft seems to have a pretty strong hold on the hardcore. Era and other sites, very strongly feel that Microsoft is pro-consumer and Sony is anti-consumer. Gamepass isn't huge, but it's very loved by a lot of these people, and they're content with MS buying up the industry so that Gamepass is filled with their favorite content. $70 is incredibly unpopular, seems like it is even more unpopular than microtransactions.

Xbox Game Studios I think is quite a bit bigger now than PlayStation is. But it doesn't feel like the games are there to see the difference. It seems like the studios are making a ton of things, but they're way too spread out.

They'll be a lot bigger when Activision goes through. I am curious about how things will change at that point. At that point, Xbox Game Studios will be like 3x the size of PlayStation Studios.
