    These two brands of generic AMD laptop could continue this song-and-dance forever. Microsoft is choosing to stop doing consoles because they have effectively destroyed the concept.

    The console war is over.

    Every game is multiplatform, now.

    The only exceptions are first-party titles, and outside Nintendo, that means whichever studios Sony can grab. Microsoft’s also gobbling up major publishers with important subsidiaries, but apparently they’re doing it for ridiculous expansion goals beyond the Xbox object or the Xbox brand.

    “PS5 has no games” just means there’s a half-dozen exclusives, which Sony paid for, specifically to continue their PS2 cosplay. Literally everything else is generic software. You can buy it on one or more other platforms, and it’s the exact same game, give or take some texture quality.
