I really hope Xbox situation changes with some exclusives. That new Blade game and Hellblade II could help it.

But then, I had the same thought with Starfield...

Yeah a strong competitor to Playstation would make for a healthier industry so I hope so as well, though it is looking increasingly unlikely. Hellblade II looks like it will be excellent, but I'm not sure if it will be mainstream or universally acclaimed enough to be a killer app; the first game was an acquired taste; I for one adored it as do many others, but its appeal wasn't as broad as Nintendo or Sony's first party blockbusters.

They definitely bet big on Starfield and it didn't pay off; if the game had managed to be great I think it definitely would've given them a much needed boost, but as it was, it apparently turned out to be merely decent, which isn't enough when you're trying to convince people to buy a new console.

I am a PC gamer, and I can't believe I'm going to say that, but maybe it's a mistake to release their games on PC day one. People who enjoys their titles won't have a reason to buy an Xbox if everything is on PC at launch.

Sometimes it almost feels like they care about game sales, not console sales.
