Are they each letting followers down? (Picture: Damian Dovarganes)A reader is annoyed by the angle and actions of each Microsoft and Sony and accuses them of now not caring about their prospects.
There’s a lot anger and bitterness in gaming in the mean time, and it’s solely going to worsen in spite of everything these Microsoft leaks that present the sleazy facet of being an enormous multinational used to purchasing its approach to success. Of course, the one distinction with Sony is that they haven’t obtained as a lot cash however I’m genuinely stunned that anybody has the power to stay up for both firm in the mean time, since so far as I’m involved they’ve each been a shame recently.
I’ll have to clarify what I imply, so you understand the place I’m coming from, however none of that is going to be a shock.

I’ve each an Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 but when I solely had an Xbox it wouldn’t have modified what video games I performed this yr one bit. Maybe I’ll get Spider-Man 2 subsequent month, however the half-hearted effort Sony is making of selling hasn’t obtained me excited for it but.

No single-player video games, so far as we all know, and even the flood of reside service video games which have been threatened nonetheless haven’t been proven off but. When is all this going to finish? We all hold considering the drought will finish in solely a month or so however each time we’re confirmed incorrect and now there’s an excellent probability we gained’t hear something new till subsequent yr.
It’s as if the masks has come off and each firms now not hassle to faux that they care what we expect. Never has it been extra apparent that these firms simply see us open wallets, to be dipped into every time they need and with as little justification or reward as attainable. And definitely not with any respect.
I’m certain Nintendo aren’t a lot better behind the scenes however at the very least they’ve the decency to cover the actual fact. Either method, all of a sudden I’m way more within the Switch 2 than I believed I used to be going to be…
