PC day and date releases may not be the only factor, but its definitely one of the primary factors, as to why Xbox Series console sales are horrific.
Its the same reason why Sony doesn't release their single player, console selling, exclusives on PC Day One. But even with late ports, its slowly making PC one of the most attractive gaming platforms.
And before all this, PC gaming has been growing for over a decade, with Steam and Epic Games accounting for over 200M+ players in 2023. Even if only 15% - 20% of total Xbox One owners decided to migrate over to PC, instead of upgrading to a Series X/S, that's a huge chunk of lifetime sales potential being taken away from Series consoles.
