This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

Idk about the xbox community but the issue is also a lot of PlayStation fans are fucking spineless, wasn’t there supposed to be a black out boycott some people were organizing? Even that some people wanted it delayed for the MW4 beta. I hate to say this but part of me hopes the ps6 flops

Of course, there's every chance the PS6 launch is a disaster like the PS5 was.

To be fair wasn't the ps5 a disaster because of scalpers? (which will probably happen to ps6 as scalping seems to still be an issue (which people shouldn't cave into) as I saw the Zelda Switch 2 game and console already on ebay for sale).

Scalping aside I hope there is some realization for whenever the ps6 happens and vote with their wallets

It was, but it took a long time before anything was really done to mitigate that problem. I got lucky enough to buy my PS5 directly from Sony at MSRP some years after it came out. But that was before they tanked their reputation with a bunch of anti-consumer business decisions.
