On the Xbox hardware side, I'm not sure what's going on there.
Series X is still constantly sold out, while Series S is on a sale right now. At least right now, it seems like a lot of people are waiting for a Series X. I wonder if in a few years whether Series S will have been deemed the right call. On the other hand, I think the Series S will probably be a more meaningful addition later in the generation. It's surprising that Sony seems to have gotten out of the shortages with pretty strong supply, whereas MS hasn't yet. Maybe they paid more for shipping or chips or something.
On the software side, I think Microsoft has a great stable of studios. The best they've ever had. There's good room for improvement with support studios, more development studios. And it feels to me like there's a little too much doomposting abroad about their development studios. They're in a great place with or without Activision. I do have some concerns that some of the studios are getting a bit spread out. Seems like there is a lot in the works for how many people some of the studios have. Seems like they need more support in a lot of areas.
It continues to be wild to me to see how much SIE and XGS are growing development wise the past few years. Plenty of room for improvement, but lots of exciting things in the works.
