    Geforce now exist tho, and my point is, Microsoft is a huge slop, they were half dead even then, lisa khan and sony destroyed competition in name of antimonopoly when sony was already dominating even before that and now we have 800$ ps5 pro and everything, my beef is, if she was a antimonopoly representative, then she should prevent monopoly from happening, and sony IS a monopoly in AAA console space thanks to her, i mean, even duopoly is better than complete dominance of one of the players on market, look up amd nvidia duopoly and how it became when nvidia became monopoly, 5090 for 3000$ oh holy fuck, give us at least SOME competition, I don’t even dare to ask about PROPER competition because market came to monopolies already

      Sorry, I meant online services integrating with gaming in general.

      destroyed competition in name of antimonopoly when sony was already dominating even before that

      hell naw. look at xbox live. i think you have a very skewed view of MS’s market position. think about the logistics required to pull MS Flight Simulator (2020) off.

      800$ ps5

      it’s $700, and relatively nobody is buying that thing. plus how is buying activision blizzard gonna help console competition?

      sony IS a monopoly in AAA console space

      compare the sales or just ask the gaming sub

      give us at least SOME competition, I don’t even dare to ask about PROPER competition because market came to monopolies already

      does radeon not exist? you don’t happen to train AI models do you?

        I agree with most of your points except, i didn’t even heard of training ai without cuda, i know it’s possible, but it’s far from popular as i see, second, Microsoft is a dead horse and it’s understandable, but it could do some competition, not proper one but some, most of the community including ftc wished Microsoft gaming department too step down, and i would be all in if alternative in AAA gaming was opensource as Linux, but alternative is corporate monopoly, same with AMD GPUs this time, they flopped hard due to 5070, and my main point still stands, i don’t want a complete monopoly even if competition is on life support it should still exist

          my point was you were making unsubstantiated assertions on markets that are just wrong. you addressed none of that

          Microsoft is a dead horse

          prove it

          same with AMD GPUs this time

          prove it
