So, we have two of the lowest selling Xbox 1st party games in recent years, which are likely being put on other consoles simply to grow their fanbase ahead of a possible sequel, and those ports won't be until Q4 this year (nearly 2 years after HiFi released and about 2 years since Pentiment released), and we have Sea of Thieves, a GaaS game from 2018, which based on these leaks, won't be ported until 2025 most likely, 7 years after release.
Not so bad so far. As long as they stick to smaller and older games like this I won't mind so much, others I wouldn't mind include Grounded, Battletoads, Tell Me Why, and Psychonauts 2 on Switch 2. Just don't do anything crazy and stupid like porting Halo, Gears, Forza Horizon, Starfield, Indiana Jones, etc. Basically don't port anything AAA unless it is very old like Ryse or Quantum Break or something and you are porting it purely to grow the fanbase ahead of a planned sequel (and both of those are unlikely to ever get a sequel sadly). AAA exclusives are mainly what moves Xbox hardware, if AAA exclusives start to disappear, many consumers will see no reason to buy Xbox hardware over PC or PS or Switch 2.
