What's everyone's Xbox eXit plan?

Having thought on it some more, I don't think I really have one.

I don't want to lose Game Pass, my achievements and absolutely zero change to how excited I am about Xbox's future IP and Xbox Series X will still provides me with everything I need/want so there's no point selling it, I'll ride out the rest of the generation with Xbox Series X and then look at Xbox's next hardware plans to make my decision.

Meanwhile, since I already have a gaming PC, I just never used it, I may experiment a little with it otherwise I wasted my money, I might try a few games, check out Steam and some modding, I might experiment with upgrading my GPU...Just for the experience and education in case I do eventually make the switch to PC but if I were to do that, I would probably just give my nephew this PC and restart from scratch, Lol.

At the end of the day, it's either I stick with Xbox hardware or I switch to PC, I don't want to wait for timed exclusivity on Xbox titles even if it's a few months, Lol. I don't want to lose my achievement score, I don't want to lose Game Pass, all of those things are available via either Xbox or PC. But the only reason I haven't made a full move to PC in the past was largely laziness, convenience and being a little intimidated by it.

There's still a way that I stick to Xbox hardware depending on what they do with it, I love the idea that everyone is spreading now about turning Xbox consoles under the Surface team into a sort of mini-PC with a Windows OS but Xbox UI, finally merging the Xbox Store/Windows Store into one, transferring digital licenses, easier porting for developers since everyone ports to PC now and then going a step further and allowing Steam on it.

That'd be the ultimate box for me and I probably wouldn't bother with upgrading my PC if it happened.
