Let me help you here, nothing MS is going to say on Thursday will have any real meaning one way or the other.  You either like what is coming to the Xbox within the next few years from what they have announced or you do not.  Thursday podcast is not going to change anyone minds to stay, leave or purchase an Xbox.  What sells any console is their AAA exclusive games, whether first, second or 3rd party.  Those dynamics isn't going to change no matter how many games from MS goes multi.  From the looks of it, there is no need to even watch it because if all that they will report is Hi Fi Rush and Pentiment then its all a nothing burger.  No one is buying an Xbox for those games and no one will be buying an Xbox in the future for AA and service games.  MS big hitters still have to hit hard as they always needed to.

Most of it is annouced a few years already and still not released so that is not really a helping argument. The thing is, he is like me someone from the Benelux and Xbox was never really kind to us,  I still have to change my region otherwise I will get my games only in German or French and thats a dick move especially when Sony solved that issue almost 20 years ago.  

Anyway finished my MS rewards and got:

Duke Nukem Forever
Sid Meier's Pirates
Monster Boy and the cursed Kingdom
Mars: War Logs
Killer Is Dead
Red Faction II
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
Persona 4 Golden
Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy

I do not believe you understand what I mean.  It has nothing to do with being announced its whether the games announce appeal to you.  That is pretty much it, you either care about the games coming or you do not.  You would wait a century if you cared and you would waste no time if you do not.  As for the region situation, I have no clue on how it works so no opinion on it.  I know that MS only really concentrate on the markets they are successful in probably because marginal markets are harder to support.  Either way, if you do not like what is coming from the Xbox team, I would not waste my time with the product but that is just me.  As I stated, I have way to little time to worry about stuff that has no bearing on me, I either like a product or I do not.  I do not get caught up in these fan wars were you simp for one mega corporation or another.  I see them all the same and the only thing I care is if they provide a product I am interested in, not trying to defend them because I chose their product.
