Not sure what you mean by that.

But we know money is an issue with all but a select few. And in that case, I think it makes more sense to spend more to have a chance at making more on a platform that isn’t in a constant state of self-immolation.

Not saying what you said isn’t true. But if I’m a smaller dev and I can spend $10K for a PS5 kit or $2K for XB, I’d rather take my shot at a bigger target, especially one that doesn’t look like it’s committed to a course of self-sabotage.

Not saying it is a beeline. But I am saying the pool of potential customers (for consoles) is larger. And right now, XB has nothing but bad press lately. It’s just one more thing to make it look like jumping aboard a sinking ship.

But PS5 outsells XSX by current estimates 3/1. There’s a larger pool of potential customers to make back that up-front cost on PlayStation. XB is smaller, they’re increasingly consumer-hostile, and now the profit margin for a new dev has gotten smaller.
