Microsoft Accuses Sony Of Reigniting The Console War

Microsoft Accuses Sony Of Reigniting The Console War

Yeah, that’s better. The Game Pass is Microsoft’s biggest weapon, a Netflix-like service that grants subscribers access to most of its games, a selection that usually includes the biggest titles on the platform. This is the Xbox’s most successful strategy in years, a service ballsy enough to allow Game Passers to play the entirety of the Halo Infinite campaign just for one dollar. Sony has already created a similar subscription service, but they know they just cannot compete with such a level of hubris.

That’s especially funny because, even though it might be true, this accusation comes up at a time when we’re seeing news that Sony is accusing Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision of being anti-competitive. Microsoft is no stranger to being so big it can only play the game of monopoly on an earth-shaped and sized board, but the truth of the matter is that Microsoft isn’t even taking Activision games away from the Playstation to make them Xbox exclusive – though they might be reconsidering that right now.
