History of Video Games (Scenario: Betaverse3)

==Ninth Generation (2017- )==
The Ninth Generation was Nintendo's comeback generation, once again becoming the market leader.
===Nintendo Switch (2017-2024)===
===PlayStation 5 (2020-2026)===
===Xbox  (2021-2026)===
The Xbox  is Microsoft's last console, dropping out of the market in 2026.  As a result, many Xbox software developers left the company for pursuits elsewhere (such as Samsung). Xbox Live made the transfer to PCs, becoming Microsoft's own chat service (competing with Discord). Many of Microsoft's gaming subsidiaries were either shut-down or spun-off due to Microsoft still dominating the PC business. Rare was shut down and its IPs were sold off to Nintendo. Bungie bought the Halo IP back and became Sony 3rd-Party (console-wise). Mojang was spun-off into an independent company.
==Tenth Generation (2024- )==
===Nintendo Switch 2 (2024-2030)===
===PlayStation 6 (2026-2032)===
===Sega Renaissance (2028-2033)===
The Sega Renaissance is SEGA's first console since 1998 and is a result of Samsung's buyout of SEGA in 2026. They replaced Microsoft in the market 10th Generation and forward. The Renaissance is also SEGA's most profitable console since the Genesis (outselling it by 8 million units) and brought the revival of many dormant franchises. It sold 39 million consoles total.
