The company who is trying to dump a mountain of money (no one else can dish out this amount) to win the industry? 

The same company who has released next to 0 exclusives compared to its competition? So basically, paying to beat the competition because they themselves lack the creativity in developing new games? 

Also the same company who is bottlenecking this gen with their Series S console? Doing this just so they can sell a tier of console at 300USD and win more market share? 

That sounds great for gamers going forward. 

The way you just projectile vomited in this thread is crazy.

Paying to win the industry? Yes companies are buying studios, funding games, making consoles, providing services. All of this takes money, even whichever plastic is your favorite. Just admit you're salty that MS has more resources to do it on a larger scale (which fair enough if you're against that but the reasoning isn't making sense). Saying they lack creativity is just insulting to developers and just factually incorrect when you look at the new IPs being released under xbox. Hell even in this historically dry year the 2 games that came from Xbox first party (Grounded and Pentiment) are both new IPs that wouldn't even have released if it wasn't for Gamepass taking out the risk. (Not to mention the slew of New IPs already announced).

Bottlenecking where? I thought this was disproven by looking at the average steam CP build, developers are already working with different powers. And once again all the console makers have different price points to try to lure in as many consumers as possible, why this is only a knock to MS is quite baffling.
