"A lot of things that Microsoft did during the last several years don't make sense from the strict point of view of a console manufacturer, so there's not necessarily some coherent ulterior motive behind their actions. One of these things being the idea that exclusive games aren't important, so Microsoft didn't replace closed studios with new ones for years; eventually somebody realized that Microsoft needs to have their own content whether the future of their gaming business is consoles or streaming, so they made a U-turn on that call."
I actually agree with you there. It has been hard to keep up with MS decisions in the last couple of years. I just find it hard to believe that they would be doing this just to get a few bucks from extra sales.
"An exclusive portfolio of IPs is indeed very important, but Microsoft tossed that overboard when they decided to make all of their future games available on Xbox and PC. That's a strategy that undermines the goal of selling as many Xbox consoles as possible and it does more damage than putting low profile IPs on Switch, because IPs like Halo, Forza and Gears have more pull."
Again, I agree to some extent. I think they are making a terrible mistake by releasing their exclusive games day one on PC. I think they should wait at least one year before doing it.
