Impossible, unless Microsoft buys Sony.

Even if they were giving away xbox for free it would be almost impossible.

Microsoft would have to launch at least 5 new single player masterpieces in year 1, which is impossible as we are already 9 months in, and nothing is even coming this whole year to beat Horizon zero dawn, god of war, spiderman, demon souls, the last of us 2, Ghost of tsushima, death stranding, etc

Microsoft could do it, example sea of thieves as a great opportunity but they made it online, it could have been be best pirate single player ever. Microsoft should have noted that playstation sells because they have plenty single player masterpieces, that's what xbox needs. Online is good, but we already have fortnite and call of duty for that, people buy consoles based on the single player exclusives.

In a way yes. But its more that multyplayer games are served by third partys across all platforms. It's their go to for them to sell mtx. So in that world abundand with online multiplats what really shines in the offline single player games. What MS is doing is competing with their partners as gamers choose just a couple of live services to focus on. 

Whats an mtx?

Like I said, single player exclusives is what sells consoles, look at the switch with breath of the wild and mario odyssey, or ps4 with spiderman, god of war, last of us, uncharted 4.

Microsoft should have been ready if they wanted a chance to beat sony, they should have gotten Halo and a new Gears ready for launch day and it should have been the best campaigns for both.

Multiplayer games like call of duty, battlefield and so on will be on both systems so people do not choose the console based on multiplayer.

The biggest reason that xbox will never beat playstation is that you can get all its games on PC, and most of us have PCs, well most gamers anyway. So half the gaming population doesnt even have a reason to own an xbox.

Microsoft should have left games such as Ori, forza, Gears, Halo all exclusives.

Can you imagine the xbox sales if the next elder scrolls and fallout were only on xbox? It would outsell the ps5 for sure.
