    the reason the console market is another duopoly

    hmm…

    Sony… Microsoft… Nintendo…

    Duopoly…

    I feel like you’ve made an error even if we’re only talking about the major 3.

    Also wonder if you’re blind.

    New consoles should pop up here and there yet they dont (very small opening for steamseck likes)

    They do. You just don’t hear about them all the time because the main 3 are so present in the discussion. Atari released the VCS (2021) for example. Oculus I would argue should count at this point too. There’s many examples we could go on about. But I have a feeling you don’t actually care about this discussion since you want to discount the obvious forefront contender of the SteamDeck.

    A new console should be able to run xbox games and/or ps5 games

    This is not at all the problem. You need to compile the game for the platform. That wouldn’t be IP laws, that would simply be development… except in the case of console exclusives. Which would still not be IP laws, but instead would be contract law between the developers and the console company. The developers of the game 100% have a right to the source code of their game and to compile it for whatever they want.

    Can you block yourself on Lemmy? I’ve never tried.

    Edit: In a move that surprised no-one. They downvoted my post and didn’t say anything in return. I guess they have no further argument.
