Perhaps. But I think MS miscalculated for Xbox by thinking there was no loss by having few / none truly Xbox exclusive games.

But ultimately Xbox is not MS's bread and butter, and it is more essential for MS to maintain, strengthen and grow Windows. To the extne that Xbox is important to that greater strategy MS will support Xbox. As Xbox sems to be of diminishing importance to Windows success, MS is less motivated to provide strong support to Xbox.

If strong PC gaming is what MS needs to keep Windows strong, then this will be prioritised potentially at the expense of Xbox. Was a time when people thought PC gaming was dead. So MS could prioritise Xbox for gaming, and this likely was beneficial to MS's broad strategy. Now arguably PC gaming is stronger than console (certainly stronger than Xbox), and services like Steam are making more games available on Linux and Apple. So possibly MS sees the greather threat as being alternative PC platforms for gaming rather than consoles. So making Windows exclusive games is more important than making Xbox exclusive games.

Yeah dont get me wrong the is a loss, im one of them users who owned a PC and used to buy an xbox but have not felt the need to buy one this gen. But i cant help but feel that MS would of took users like me into account and maybe seen we aint as big as it would seem?. I agree with pretty much everything else you say here, very well done post .

Thanks, except for all the horrible typos.
