The console war thing is just on Xbox fans head.
Xbox was never in competition at all but Xbox fans but themselves over what their own places 🤷‍♂️

And yes... I see competition between Sony Studios... they try to beat each other at each new release.

Except it does?

They started releasing games on PC and expanded PS+ in response to Game Pass and Play Anywhere
He's addressing the tweets people are making claiming that PlayStation studios wouldn't put the same amount of effort into their games without Xbox around and saying how untrue that is.

Psplus expansion was started over ten years ago lol the PC thing would have happened. Only thing Xbox has done competitively was online infrastructure and tht was over a decade ago. There has been no real competiton for years.

PlayStation saw releasing on PC is profitable, just look at Helldrivers 2 numbers

Too early to tell, but it's very likely they will respond.

Selling on more than one platform is usually profitable PC wasn't the first time recently theyve done tht. With Microsoft or not eventually you think about growth, it would have happened. Shit thy implemented console VR on their own without anyone else doing it on console as an example. They are a company looking for growth wherever they can find it.

Respond in what way? Stuff like God of War and Last of Us would have had the same amount of effort and passion put into them by the developers with or without the presence of Xbox. That's the animator's whole point.

You're basically implying that if Xbox was third party, PlayStation's devs would stop making good games, which isn't true, lol

Seriously I don't get the competition angle. If you said this during 360 era I'd agree but now nahhh thy hvnt been competitive at all and Microsoft has been reactionary on almost everything from remote play, streaming, creation of specific controllers, even gp was a reaction to Sony.
