This is a hypothetical question, but do you think if there were more consoles on the market instead of the current big 3 we have today, do you think that would be more beneficial to the game industry and market?

I don't think it would be helpful. Game consoles are primarily platforms on which to deliver content to players, alongside PC, mobile, VR, and other various devices. Most of what makes a console compelling is the kind of exclusive games you can play on that console - as long as the technical specs are fairly similar, you can pretty much play the same games on one console as on another, aside from the exclusives.

Adding or fragmenting more exclusive content among more platforms isn't necessarily a good thing. We can take a look at another market where there are multiple competing platforms all trying to deliver content, many of whom have their own set of exclusives. How do you feel about having so many streaming services like Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Starz, and so on? When a new streaming service is announced with exclusive content attached to it, what is your reaction? Personally, I get more than some amount of streaming fatigue. In the case of streaming video, I don't feel like I'm getting a better value overall with more players in the game. They're all essentially fighting over distribution of the same pool of overall content.
