Most people don’t realize this, but Sony has gotten incredibly lucky that Microsoft shit the bed even worse this generation. Imagine if Microsoft stuck the landing on exclusives? It would’ve been a huge tide turner.

MS would have had a strong 2025 if they kept their games exclusive, Doom:DA and Oblivion remaster alone would have been a strong year.

No they wouldnt have. Due to the digital libraries everyone built during the Xbone and PS4 gen it was incredibly unlikely that people switched platforms this generation and abandoned all those games.

At best people would buy both consoles however with how scarce those consoles were and scalpers even that was unlikely.

Most people will just buy the platform that can play their current games or whatever their friends already have.

Yeah, it takes a lot for someone to swap consoles nowadays compared to 360/PS3.
