The rivalry between PlayStation and Xbox has been ongoing for years, with Nintendo taking a different approach. However, market research firm DFC Intelligence believes that the industry is shifting towards a scenario where only two successful consoles will be supported, leaving one of the big three struggling.
DFC projects that Nintendo’s next-generation console will not suffer from this trend, but rather be the clear winner in the industry for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, Sony and Microsoft are expected to struggle in a distant third place, depending on which company can gain early momentum.
Microsoft’s recent acquisitions have given it a significant advantage as the largest gaming publisher in the world. The Xbox Series X is facing challenges, but its upcoming game lineup, including titles like “The Outer Worlds 2” and “Avowed”, could be a turning point for the console.
Meanwhile, the legacy of influential games like “King’s Field” cannot be overstated, showcasing how it has shaped the Souls-like genre. With Nintendo taking a unique approach, it will be interesting to see how the industry evolves in the coming years.
