Google was unsuccessful with Google Stadia and doing well with the Google Play Store for apps, the same thing for Apple and their iOS store and game subscription service Apple Arcade. Amazon is doing their own thing with Twitch and New World.
But it seems that they will never reach the gaming heights of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.

Do you think they will actively try to play in the same field as these big 3? Or is the space too full? What strategy do you think they have?
I also heard Netflix is trying to get into gaming as well...

I don't think they would be able to compete unless they go all out in acquiring successful studios and IPs (ie. Apple buys Nintendo ).

lol the only reason that is true is because they haven't even tried. if you saw companies like Apple and Google diverting more resources into gaming (in whatever form), it would be an entirely different landscape overnight.

Yep. Ms laid the blue print. All third party publishers scooped up over night. Streaming services and MTX the centre of everything. Absolute aids.

Just wait and see! Let MS and Sony kill themselves.

Today's acquisitions will start to pay next gen... in 5 years, at best!
