Sony going from silent, weak to violent has to be the greatest character arc in console war history.

People acting like they're being held hostage when they can just simply choose to buy the other plastic box instead is hilarious
I don't know man, I think it's fair to get annoyed by this stuff. If I were a PS only gamer and something like Starfield turned out to be a timed exclusive for another platform, I'd feel down on it too. Not everyone has the money for more than one platform, and there are other factors than just games when deciding where to play.
It's certainly nothing to feel gleeful about, at the very least. It was weird when people were cheering and hoping for MS to buy every developer under the moon in the other threat, and it's weird here now.

Maybe I've failed to consider the reasons people prefer a game box other than the games available (being serious, not sarcastic at all).

I'm a huge FF fan so I've primarily been a PlayStation first owner. If Nintendo or MS announced that they have locked up FF exclusivity, I'd buy their box instead. I use this same logic with almost any frivolous purchase.

I'd much rather see that money get invested into new first party partnerships, but I guess that's why I'm not a businessman.
I thought amassing content and IP was what Sony was pivoting towards for all of their entertainment entities (Gaming, Pictures and Music), but I guess they've de-emphasized that priority.

The fabled Microsoft warchest is actually Sony's?!

MS has a lot more money than Sony, the thing is Xbox doesn't always have access to daddy's wallet + it more likely Sony will spend more money on their most important division while MS is less likely to spend more money on their least important division

The whole arrogant thing is confusing. They're trying to stay ahead of hte game to make sure tehy have content, which goes against them being arrogant.
