Saying that entire populations would move move is course a huge exaggeration. Especially because after 30-40% leave the people remaining would have access to more resources, land etc. which would make emigration less appealing. However 214

Well we did almost entirely outsourced this decision to people smugglers and the Mediterranean sea itself which is about the worst possible option.

It's a fact that allowing people who came to your country illegally is encouraging more people to risk their lives doing the same. For every 1000 of people who get to stay a significant proportion drown in the Mediterranean, end up bei

True, I guess my point was that Xbox seems more like a subset of the PC market rather than a separate platform like PS5.

MS is(has?) merged Xbox with PC PC gaming. Counting Xbox separately might not make much sense anymore when they are no different to locked down budget gaming PCs which can only access the MS store.

What other options would they have? Why would anyone share their own high-end cores when margins from producing and selling them yourself are much higher than form licensing (looking at ARM).
