Comment on Phil Spencer wants Epic Games Store and others on Xbox consoles
golli@lemm.ee 2 months agoI agree that it is about market powery, but one could make the argument that Xbox/PlayStation have a duopoly similar to iOS/Android.
Although I think PlayStation dominated with roughly a 70/30 split worldwide (higher in Europe). Nintendo is somewhat in its own category imo, since they mostly do their own games and don’t directly compete in that sense.
But I guess in a way consoles also compete with PCs.

And overall video game revenue is centered around mobile:

The arcade experience of having to put in money to play just moved to mobile.
