@thegamebusiness: Isn't the console market dying? We asked Xbox's leader Matthew Ball. More at www.thegamebusiness.com #thegamebusiness #xbox #playstation #nintendo
When consoles begin to cost the same price as a low-end PC rig, thats when folks will likely make the switch.

I have a high end PC but I play on PS5 and Switch more during my downtime.

Both consoles contain the most valuable subsets of players in the world. So it’s not going anywhere.

With PC RAM and graphics card costs continuing to increase, even with console price increases, the value of console seems to be increasing relative to PC.

But I feel like, in terms of big business, if you aren’t growing you are oftentimes kinda considered to be dying.

consoles also have the most leverage in the industry. A uniform move toward console exclusive titles would strangle the PC platform

PS5 has either passed (or almost passed) 100 million. Switch is the second best console sales wise in history. Consoles aren’t done — It’s just Xbox lost their vision and what set them apart. My unpopular opinion is they NEED more exclusives and if they are good, folks will buy the console they release.

All consoles will move to handhelds in the future. The switch is the blueprint.

They need to integrate console and pc games with mobile. Like a more advanced version of what the Dreamcast did with their memory cards (the VMUs). It's a revenue stream they have missing out on for years.

Xbox is leaning into PC as their current offering sucks.

How do you improve your success in the console market if your next-generation console costs $1000 and your current-generation console costs $650, and that price keeps going up? Especially when that price goes up due to decisions by your parent company (when it comes to AI).
