Weaker specs compared to what's in the Series X and ps5 because only 1% of the pc gamers currently have that kind of hardware. I'm putting so much emphasis on GP and Xcloud because it's become MS's main focus and the dna of their next gen strategy. It's why they are practically giving away their AAA exclusives for free by launching them on GP from day one.

1% of how many people? Can’t just throw out numbers without perspective. On top of that, you can’t just use Steam as a measure when many PC gamers don’t have their hardware tracked there.

Well I don't have the exact numbers but from I know Steam has around 100m users, so that at least gives a good estimate. If I look at the Steam hardware survey and only looking at the gpu's, around 1% of steam users have a gpu that's on par with what's in the Series X. So that would be around 1 million gamers. That's why I think MS isn;t willing to put all their exclusives on GP and optimize them for those kind of specs because they want everybody to be able to play their games. Obviously those numbers will shift when Nvidia and AMD release their new gpu's and that kind of performance becomes a lot mainstream among average pc gamers. But I'm guessing that will take some time.
