    Are they? The Switch is, but the Xbox is doing okay, and the PS5 quite well, nothing that great though.

      Yes, yes, they are. The Xbox should be in the absolute gutter with microsofts decisions over the past decade. The fact that it exists at all is a testament to how strong consoles are these days.

      The switch is doing great. The ps5 is doing great. The Xbox still exists even though the Xbox One happened, and this is all in the face of the pc platform doing great.

        Platform loyalty isn’t so big, Nintendo dropped the ball previously then knocked it out of the park (twice), Sony messed up the PS3… There are simply more people and different avenues for revenue, and higher profit margins. I wouldn’t say the PS5 is doing great.
