Mike Ybarra, former president of Blizzard Entertainment and Xbox corporate vice president at Microsoft, comments on the current console market – one he doesn't seem to think Xbox is exactly thriving within anymore.
In response to a report from IGN on Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino's recent speech regarding the PlayStation 5 generation of consoles' success, one that has seen Sony rack up over $136 billion so far, Ybarra implies as much. "But hey, the console market isn't a successful business," writes Ybarra, with a seemingly sarcastic undertone. He then says, "It is if you do it right" – a statement that feels like a potential shot at Xbox.
