There doesn't always have to be a winner. (Gaming)

In much the same way there is no winner of console games versus PC games.

Many people only play on console and many only play on PC. Despite PC gaming being much smaller compared to console gaming, you can buy many console games on PC, and there are exclusives for PCs. Despite consoles being technically inferior, they have exclusives as well.

In the retail world, when a segment opens, there's usually quite a few players that come in and try, then it settles down to two big ones, and smaller niche ones. Example: in the nineties, there were tons of home improvement stores. Lowe's, Home Depot, Builder's Square, Home Quarters Warehouse, etc. Now there's two.

Sometimes, there are just a bunch of companies. Currently, Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, and so on do normal systems, IBM does business, Cray does supercomputers, Foxconn does little ones, ibuypower does custom systems, and so on. For every Amiga we lose, we get a company like Razer that starts building systems. There doesn't have to be a winner every time, people.
