The simulation is like chess- no two simulations are ever alike. There are a variety of strategies teams can deploy, so what really matters is how distinct the strategies are within the industry. For example, you can play the six generic strategies outline in The Guide.

The richer the variety of strategies, the more likely it is that the industry will produce profit. Picture a surface. That is your playing field. On the surface there are hills. They represent the various strategies- broad cost leader, broad differentiator, etc. Some hills are taller than others. However, if two teams or more try to climb a tall hill, they have difficulty reaching the top because they tend to drag each other down. You might be better off on a smaller hill if you are all alone.
