The three console giants basically saw the same thing: customers were getting ready to break up with them. They were getting too clingy, too costly, they weren't very fun anymore, and they just couldn't be trusted. Hysterically, all three companies basically engaged in the same behavior people do when a relationship is in danger.

Microsoft got insecure and domineering... it didn't want you sharing things with your friends, it started following you around and listening in on your conversations... checking if you lied about how many people were really at your "party"

Sony just wanted to make things right. It knows the gaming industry is making some mistakes right now, but baby, it can change! It'll be like it used to be, but better!

Nintendo... did what it always does when it thinks you're going to break up with it. It just told you, "Whatever, baby. Call me when you get your head together." and started working on the next Pokemon game, because you'll come back. You always come back.



I love that Sony's response to Microsoft is basically, "Look at how you're trying to solve your problems by making them worse! That's pretty funny!" while doing its best to make consoles relevant in 2014. Personally, I think they made a pretty good case for getting a PS4. It's about the price of a modest PC upgrade and will see you through the next generation of console/system exclusives without getting all anti-consumerist on you. I'm sold. Bring on that XV and KH3!
