If Xbox Series can sustainably sell 30% above Xbone, that'd be something at least. I want Xbox to be more competitive this gen cos in my experience less competition means gaming suffers. PS4 steamrolling Xbone and Wii U led to a pretty dull several years. The 7th and 4th gens were the best in my opinion because they were the most competitive.

Microsoft does have far more first-party than they did during the Xbox One days. 23 studios once the Bethesda deal closes it a lot more than the 5 they had just a few years ago. Obviously, once other difference is Microsoft releases all their games on PC now, and you can even play them on your phone with xCloud.

I'm still not convinced they'll keep Bethesda's games off Playstation, I expected timed rather than total exclusivity. As such Bethesda's studio won't carry as much weight as first parties normally would. But we'll see.
