I'm confused, are you saying they should port Halo to PlayStation to get people to consider getting into Xbox? Just clarifying.

Think Pentiment is more about throwing Josh Sawyer a bone Tbh, it's a utterly niche ass passion project and Josh Sawyer said he wanted it on other platforms long ago, it's going to do absolutely nothing for Xbox hardware, heck, 90% of Xbox gamers probably don't even know about it, haha. But it's such a gem which deserves to be played by as many as possible and will have ZERO affect on Xbox hardware.

Sea of Thieves/Grounded are more about maintaining their communities, they're both years old, likely reaching a saturation point on Xbox hardware, eventually it will be "shutdown" or...you can port the game and it gets even more life, honestly these niche titles and GaaS titles don't really make sense keeping exclusive for years on end, at the end of the day it's not about the Xbox hardware for these but the health of the games themselves.

Yeah, this will do nothing for Xbox. A Gamepass filler and year old online multiplayer games. HiFi Rush is at least something. 

I think they should port Halo, yes. That franchise could use some new players. Same with Gears. Then the new games in those franchises will be exclusive to Xbox. THAT would at least draw in some people. If thats even what they are really going for. Throwing a few decent games on other platforms will do nothing for them. I would be surprised if the even made their money back from them.

Uh, I take issue with your labelling of "Game Pass filler" Lol. Are you calling Pentiment a Game Pass filler? Game is critically acclaimed and a passion project from Josh Sawyer, niche doesn't deserve the label of "Game Pass filler" which is often used in a negative way.

But like I said, it's not about moving Xbox consoles, it's about the health of these IPs. If Sea of Thieves/Grounded start stagnating, or losing players, what happens to them? They get shutdown, in that case it is always better to port them to more players.

But you know what, I would actually be fine with Infinite on PlayStation because the MP is in an amazing place right now but doesn't have the players it deserves, what I think they should do though, is split the Halo MP from the SP, keep the SP exclusive and release the MP on PlayStation.
