    What do you mean by Sony’s complete dominance? AFAIK they only dominated with the PS4 because Microsoft bungled the release of the XBOne by tacking a bunch of junk on it that turned people off. Furthermore, online play used to be free with Sony until Microsoft started raking in the dough by charging for Xbox Live so we can thank them for Sony and Nintendo following suit with their own subscription fees. Current gen has PS5 leading in sales despite their production issues contrasting with Microsoft having consoles on the shelf that apparently nobody wanted to buy, but how is that Sony’s fault? They don’t drive demand.

    I don’t see how Sony is the dominant one in this scenario.

      You don’t remember the Fortnite case where it showed that Sony abused their dominant position to force better terms from Epic and try to block crossplay?
