I will give Xbox the benefit of the doubt this time given they are under new leadership and be on the lookout for more news on Project helix.
As someone who owns a Series X and PS5, if you only own a series X, you will not be hurting for games because the exclusive release cadence on playstation is slow this generation. At most you will have to put up with the timed 3rd party exclusives the playstation gets for the biggest games. I think part of the problem was with Phil Spencer. Throughout this generation, I have always heard about how Sony will assist 3rd party developers to bring games to Playstation and at the same time, you hear complaints from developers about no support from Xbox.
The Xbox is not in it’s current position because it could not put up a fight against Playstation, it is because their previous CEO didn’t want to. He would say you can’t out console Sony.
I am not worried too much about Xbox not having any exclusives going forward because if the new console can play PC games and it is open, there will be hundreds of games available that are not on consoles.
I also noticed some hypocrisy with gaming media and some YouTube gamers. They will say if Xbox is going to release a console that can play PC gamers and cannot be upgraded, why won’t people just buy a PC, yet when they are talking about the Steam machine, they show immense interest in that dispite it likely being a lower powered machine compared to the PC they use to edit and upload their Videos.
