Meh Klobrille said it well

Phil Spencer, 2020: “I don't really love this idea that for every one of our games, there becomes this little rumor on it ‘is it going to end up on the Switch or not.’ I feel we should set a better expectation with our fans than that."

Fans will judge Xbox on words & actions.

Klobrille seems to be less and less a fan of Spencer as time goes on, I have seen quite a few tweets from him calling out Spencer decisions in recent months, from the mixed messaging between Phil and the Tim Stuart CFO guy recently to this move of bring HiFi to a competitor platform.

Not just Klobrile.

1) Japanese Narative going on here is also silly,  It isn't the case that the PS released in Japan and owned, it took them +2 years to finally beat the Saturn thanks to high investments.   Japanese gamers weren't much of a fan at first especially when it had no JRPG's and no history while Sega had JRPGs and N64 was coming...

2) Hi fi did not only release on Xbox it also released on PC in Japan that has a 10-15 million userbase it is a benefit that MS has.  Releasing a game outside your ecosystem will not benefit you ecosystem but worse also will cost time meaning next game will probably be effected by it and less people potentially joining your ecosystem meaning less money that you and devs will make in your ecosystem and again damaging your ecosystem...
