Xbox fiscal resport shows they made 7.11 Billion from Gaming.
For comparison, Sony made just under 9 Billion last year from Gaming.

So Microsofts strategy, focusing less on hardware sales and instead letting people play "anywhere", seems to be working pretty well.

Rumor is the Sea of Thieves port to PS5 will be announced today on the Sony State of Play, smh. Bad enough they are giving away Xbox exclusives to start with, even worse that they are advertising said ports on a direct competitor's showcase event. It's like signaling to PS5 owners "no need to buy a cheap Series S in a sale to play our exclusives, if you wait long enough we will bring our games to you here on PS5". 

True, but in Sea of Thieves case, the game is about to be 6 years old and it's probably safe to say it's reached practically its max number of players with the current available player base. 

At the same time, this is where Xbox REALLY needs to come out and clarify their business strategy going forward, because even if Sea of Thieves does end up being a rarity of an Xbox exclusive going multiplat, it'll always cast doubt in players minds as to whether they should wait because a certain Xbox exclusive did end up coming to PS.

Well, Xbox didn't have the multiplat strategy 6 years ago, so if that does end up happening, or Hi-Fi Rush, (which is the other one people heard about), I think their approach will be as they said before. A case by case basis. Some games get ported over. Others wont.
I would guess around 1-2 years after they launch on Xbox.

That said. I heard about what games will appear in today's State of Play, but Sea of Thieves wasn't one of them.
