So who will be on top when it all is set and done?
Microsoft is basically dead (has been but people pretend that there is still a chance) with them out who will take the top spot, and how will this change the landscape of the industry?
The things to look out for is how the console market shifts and who becomes top dog, and how third parties (especially the Jap ones) will act. Will they try to pick sides, or will they just go along with things? Back in the day they could shift market forces and actually get people to buy consoles now I don't see that being the case, but I could be wrong.
Nintendo is already raising prices as a sign of their monopoly. Snoy is as dead as California, and Xbox is firing 9000 employees as we speak.
I think the answer is obvious.

Among all the misguided nonsense that has happened in this industry, Sony doing that live service push and buying Bungie has to be right up there. The bad thing for Sony is the failures are not over yet. This live service initiative shit has a few bombs left before it completely dies.

Playstation has GTA 6. And Xbox is dead pretty much as of today. That is the ace card to anything that Nintendo thinks they have. GTA 6 will be bigger than pretty much all Nintendo games combined.
Nintendo will still be alive fifty years from now. Take a look into their history. They created all the trends in which everyone else follows. Their games and IP are usually quality with pure gameplay that doesnβt waste the playerβs time. Their games are shorter and unbloated without open world slop checklists or movie gameplay. Nintendo games have the least wasted moments. They are enjoyable and fun to play.

You do realize that the PS5 lifespan isnt even through yet and it will likely outsellf or at least tie the PS4 right? The same fucking thing about having 1 game could be said about the Switch 2 as well. Literally one game and its Mario Kart World. Thats just the way consoles are going. A few exclusives and a lot of timed ones.

PS5 had 2 games on launch and many timed exclusives later on with the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and 16, Spiderman 2, etc. Also Nintendo isnt getting GTA 6 ever probably which will be the biggest media release of all time. How many games do you really think theyre going to pump out for the 2 alone, first party titles? Not more if any more than the PS5 truly.

You disregarded nearly my entire point. I said the Switch 2 will largely be an improved back compat game runner much like the PS5 with likely less exclusives than before. PS4 had way more exclusives than the 5 as well

High-end PC gaming is dying like home consoles. You don't want to know what the PS6's price will be because it's going to be far more than even the PS5 Pro. The Nintendo Switch 2 and the Valve Steam Deck 2 are the future of gaming. AAA slop is on its way out. Video games are about to fix themselves hard.

Really all of this is pure conjecture, but at this point it has 1 exclusive and most people are using it for back compat. Its just the way it is. No console maker can really avoid it. Its just what happens when consoles go mainstream instead of the usual every 5 year Nintendo gimmick for kids console. The Switch 2 is the first serious successor and not a joke. 3rd party is a big deal

You're already seeing the signs for Sony, porting games to PC, making PSSR for everything not just PlayStation. That's a sign of preparing to drop out.

Steam Deck isn't sold in retailers. It was always going to be outsold by the Switch 2, the Deck 2 will have the same fate. Valve is smart enough not to challenge Nintendo's dominance.

If it means anything though it is coming off a lot of sales of GTA 5 but I doubt it would do much to the Switch 2 other than show the contrarians who would probably pay that $100+ to play GTA 6.

Funny you have to explicitly say asian rather than just japanese due to no jp dev being willing to release PiS5 exclusives at this point, with like 3 exceptions.
The kicker is chinky and gooky shit also fails to deliver, while also using AAAA budgets.
I think the only exception is gook blade that "only" had AAA budget and didn't completely flop (once it released on PC).

Maybe, but Nintendo has the uncanny ability to rise from the ashes whenever things start getting bad for them. The Gamecube wasn't successful? Fine, let's make a revolutionary console that will influence the whole industry. Its successor, the Wii U, wasn't successful? Alright, let's do our magic again. Following this logic, it should be the turn of the Switch 2 to flop, but apparently it's doing quite well despite not having a solid release library. I don't know how they do it, but they are simply luckier and/or more talented with their management than other companies.

It was on PS3, XBox 360 2 years almost before PC and PS4 and XBox got it around half a year before PC.
The wii didnt outdo GTA in terms of sales/influence. GTA was way bigger than the Wii. The only real case you have here is the Switch but even at that GTA 6 is coming out and will be massive. It just hasnt happened yet

It also doesn't help that Sony is spread thin with so many other things that simply aren't videogames. I read an article recently saying the movie department was bleeding them dry with costant losses and high costs, and that one or two successful movies every five years aren't really worth the whole thing. Nintendo is just now wetting their feet with movie shit, but they are still tied to their games, directly supervised by their developers and writers, and have nothing to do with Hollywood shit. They are one of the few companies left who are totally and wholly dedicated to videogames, meant as "things supposed to have a fun gameplay and good music".

Therefore, the fact that Nintendo was, and Nintendo still is, the owner of the best selling videogame franchise and overall media franchise in the world still trumps anything that both GTA and COD have ever achieved.

Sony is going to falter and become Nintendo's whipping boy if they do a massive course correction from Jim Ryan's idiotic decisions before the launch of the PS6 and judging from their past few State of Plays I wouldn't bet on it.
Nintendo will always stay on top because pigs love their slop.

Even if they turned everything around right now with the way AAA development is, we won't see any new games for years while they have to flush millions of dollars and years of dev time down the toilet on their current projects because they don't want another concord.

It's the classic hare vs turtle. The hares = rest of the industry chasing line must go up and maximum profit at all costs. That's why they all chase live service, digital only, MTX, season passes etc. Meanwhile Nintendo is the turtle, each generation they made more franchises over time. Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Splatoon etc. Some of these weren't huge hits originally but grew over time. And slowly but surely each generation Nintendo IPs are all huge and sell a ton and it becomes the no-brainer buy for everyone. All of that means Nintendo got identity too. They don't have live service games but they got classic multiplayer games. Meanwhile other companies have to promise over and over "we're gonna go back to our roots, a return of form" etc etc etc. Just watch Battlefield

It's down to Valve vs Nintendo, but I bet Valve will eventually take the crown.
Valve has a big advantage against Nintendo. Nintendo needs to continuously create hardware to stay relevant whereas Valve can do hardware as a side project and still make gazillion dollars of revenue thanks to the superiority of their storefront and CS2 lootboxes.
Creating and designing hardware is super expensive which is why only Sony and Nintendo are still making gaming consoles, and Microsoft seems to be giving up like Sega did 25 years ago. Nintendo consoles almost died off after the Wii U flop, but thanks to the Switch they survived and thrived. The Switch 2 might be extremely successful now but if it or its successors, if any, lose steam (heh) Nintendo might be in big trouble. We might already be seeing this what with the Switch 2's launch titles and Nintendo's first party upcoming games being so anemic compared to Switch 1. Turns out more powerful hardware=much more expensive games, otherwise why even bother with the Switch 2 and just make it compatible with Switch 1.

That phrase bothers me more when developers say it because I know it's going to be another "We took the skin of your favorite IP and threw it over the worst AAA garbage ever!" that always leads to "Guess fans didn't want it because it didn't sell 10 billion copies"

They are competing in different areas. Sony has the traditional home console market in a grip and guarantees all major games and companies focus on their platform. Nintendo has their own niche where they make bank off of exclusives and high quality first party games that cater to a specific audience. Neither are in any danger of falling apart.

Xbox is dead and will become MS Games as some have said
some xbox fans will go to ps5 for a premium console
MS Games will continue publishing lots of games and soon develop their own handheld deck model and prioritize compatibility with their deck
sony will probably sell enough games to make a ps6 and maybe 7
nintendo will continue the switch line for another model at least
most games will be multiplat which will be good for the market
valve probably keeps winning the deck market bc the linux os keeps improving and microsoft's deck will be loaded with bloatware and bullshit

I don't think chat bots would so illogically move goalposts into a new losing position every time they talk
Let's imagine for a moment that Microsoft and Sony really stop making games altogether. Do you think Nintendo would start making more "mature" games to fill the hole they left behind? (Mine is a unironic question, I'm legit curious). I mean, Nintendo has always been known as the "children-friendly" company, the one that catered to kids and nostalgia, while Sony and Microsoft were the hardboiled companies often making mature, gritty, gory games. Nintendo never really tried to enter this part of the market, except for some rare occasions, probably preferring to do what they do best - but if Sony and Microsoft really were to drop out of the "race", would Nintendo be able to fill that particular demand (and if so how), or would they keep making "safe" games?

"edgy teens and manchildren acting mature for enjoying grimslop" is a dead demographic that doesn't provide any money when pandered to, so i doubt it, especially when nintendo already learned that lesson during the goycube era

They'd probably let the third parties occupy that space all they want, but it's not like they haven't done mature games once in a blue moon. They just tend to not be the kind of mature game that most westerners think of, but I think I prefer those games; Emio was such a good experience.

Valve and Nintendo are fighting with each other, albeit indirectly. Via gamedevs. Nintendo needs to attract game developers to develop games for their consoles, but if nobody buys 3rd party games on the Switch 1/2 and prefer instead to buy them on Steam or some other PC storefront for cheap, why even bother with porting their games? There are already reports that the 3rd party launch titles on the Switch 2 have flopped.

With steam's antijapan policies, they are at the point the PS4 was at after the snoy backstabbing.
They won't die today, but they will be irrelevant within the decade and they will be a mere AAAslop platform and nothing else.
If there's no competitor then PC gaming in general in the west may "die" and go back to being a niche hobby for nerds.

With snoy it was also "one" rogue employee, but the damage was deep and long lasting regardless.
Fewer and fewer JP devs are going to be developing primarily for steam when they can get months if not years worth of dev time killed on a whim.
Hell we are even already starting to see some devs like konami drop out of publishing overseas entirely unless it's extremely normalfag friendly shit like silent hill and MGS.

Nope, these guys have solid track records, they're stating that next gen will be expensive. Why do you think a PS6 using Zen 6 and RDNA 5/UDNA, or whatever they call the GPU is going to cost less or the same amount as the PS5 Pro? You're telling Sony, who makes less than Microsoft, to take a huge loss just for you, that's not how things work, and you know that.

Sony, as a whole, doesn't make as much as Microsoft, as a whole. If Microsoft is not willing to sell at anymore losses going forward, how do you expect Sony to sell at a big loss when they're not even primarily a gaming company? Prices are going up, not down. The PS6 will be more expensive than the PS5 Pro. High-end gaming is over.

There won't be a next box, that will be a "console" on a chip that will be more expensive than the PS6. Sony's movie games and live-service slop will kill them.

Xbox, that's why the price was the same, if Microsoft would have released a $600 Xbox Series Pro, the PS5 Pro would have been $600 as well but because Xbox consoles died, the Pro was $700 instead. Sony's really going to go mad on prices next gen.

They didn't even see Xbox as competition back then, the PS3 was in development way before the 360 was released.
The issue was later as they started mimicking everything Microsoft did due to being the underdog.

Not really, they're still the FIFA, COD, GTA and interactive movie machine.
They still have that niche, but it's losing steam to PC. ( no pun intended)

It was worth it since they successfully pushed Microsoft out in the end like they did with Sega. Now Sony has a near monopoly on the home console market, like Nintendo does in handhelds.

It's going to be hard doing that not selling your console at a loss. The PS6 can't be weaker than the PS5 Pro.

They wouldn't have to cause third parties would have to migrate to Nintendo and PC especially to make any money regardless if certain devs hold obvious grudges against Nintendo if they want a paycheck they are gonna have to swallow their pride and make games on their platform.

Sony will benefit the most from Xbox pulling the plug. Pretty much everyone has a Switch already. Those Switch owners eventually get the new one. With Xbox, the games are already on PS5 - they'll hardly miss anything. Xbox users could also pony up for a Gaming PC which is what Xbox seems to want to be anyway. For those who don't want to spend $2500 for an RGB lit mega computer, Sony will welcome those Xbox gamers with open arms.

I wonder, if Sony and Microsoft really exit the race and it's just Nintendo and Valve for a while, how will that affect Nintendo's dev pipeline? Will the breathing room allow them to focus on their lesser served franchises like Star Fox and F-Zero? Or will they just keep things exactly as they are, since what they're doing is obviously working?

It won't, Nintendo and Valve don't really think much of each other except on innovation of handheld gaming designs. Both will be in their separate markets doing their own thing making a lot of money. The video game landscape will change with AAA dying though.
