Could be the first signs of Sony bombing out of the gaming space. Although I had always thought Microsoft would be the first to go.

If Trump is going to save a domestic industry, I don't want it to be Microsoft. I mean, more competition is good, I don't want Sony to have a monopoly either and it looked like Microsoft was trying to find a way to exit the console space recently, so in that way it can be good to have some enforced competition.

But on the other hand, Microsoft fucking sucks and is on the BDS list.
