A reader predicts an extinction level event for the video games industry and blames both Sony and Microsoft for letting it happen.

Are Xbox and PlayStation as bad as each other? Well, what a week it’s been, eh? We had the first tentative announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 and then we had Xbox provide a free clown show for the entire world to see, that generously went on for days. I think at this point we take off the kid gloves and just admit that not only are Xbox laughably incompetent but that they’re an absolute parasitic blight upon gaming, that are now in real danger of destroying the entire console industry.

It’s like borrowing from your parents, they might forget a few small loans but when you start talking about real chunks of cash, they want that money back… with interest. Except what is Xbox going to do? It’s still got no exclusives on the horizon that are going to make people buy their consoles and the big companies it chose to buy don’t make games more than every five years, at most.
