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.

Microtransactions? Did I abbreviate wrong?

I never disagreed with you. Just said why I think single player is more important. But we both think single player is more important. 

And yes I also agree that the xbox was made redundant by MS by putting all their games day one in PC. And its gona hurt them more now as the diminishing return on performance is getting almost not worth it if you have a decent old rig. Also not to mention that MS aiming at series s performance will guaranty that most peoples pc could be satiafied with what they have.
