Machiavellian said: Right now, MS need consecutive years of great hardware and software in order to grow GP and their gaming division. Dropping hardware would instantly make just about every gamer feel the company is about to bail the industry and they would bail on the platform. There is no scenario I see where GP and MS games grow at this point in time without hardware and successfully bringing AAA games to market. |
Microsoft's hardware is the least of their issues, they have had the better hardware since 2017, almost 6 years now.
It's all in the software at this point.
Mobile and PC is where they need to appeal to people to adopt Gamepass, combined they are much bigger markets than consoles and tend to be more open for more innovation/flexibility to maneuver in the market.
