 Perhaps it is just me but I would wait until I actually know what is happening before I set my X-Box on fire.

Influencers are the worst. They could dry up and blow away and no one would care in the slightest. It would have zero effect on anyone’s lives.

"Starfield being a piece of poo poo game" and "Starfield would be wildly successful on PS5" are both true statements.

Also not sure why anyone would think the ABK purchase then change in business strat would be a whoopsie. If anything probably just indicates they were thinking about going full software all along.

Hmm! They announced the Activision purchase in Jan 2022. Was it clear by then that hardware wasn’t going to survive?

I mean... yeah lol. Xbox has been trailing for a very long time now and, knowing how slow things develop in a corporation that size, they have probably been looking at a way to exit the hardware side (or go full 3rd part and release a variant on the S from time to time) for a long time now.

The ongoing rumor is that X-Box is going to be bringing their titles to Sony systems which, if true, would signal that they are going to be backing off from dedicated hardware. Probably not instantly but you're not going to release your exclusives on your competitor's platform.

IIRC that leak was ancient, like literally from before the Series S and X even launched. A lot's changed since then, including the fact that Microsoft may have lost patience with not getting returns on Xbox and are pivoting in some fashion that makes internet people go :derp:
