I'll be real for a moment though, it is a bit of an L if you ignore all context.
xCloud is firstly available in more areas than Sony's Cloud service, they almost certainly have more customers and therefore more costs and more strain on the service, we know xCloud doesn't turn a profit, alongside that you can also blame regulators for crippling xCloud. Sony or Nvidia didn't have regulators on their ass for almost 2 years and therefore had to halt all investment into the service, not only halt but make it worse, Lol.
All cause regulators were going to block an acquisition over an unproven tiny market.
Nevertheless, they should improve the performance and whatnot, add the features they promised years ago (which were obviously put on hold due to regulators) and these things are now coming, the service will once again improve now that regulators are out of the way. There's a double digit % of Xbox playtime via xCloud so clearly it's not so terrible that nobody is using it, that number is quite frankly shocking.
But alongside all of that, xCloud is targeting a different market than Sony or Nvidia, xCloud is largely targeted towards mobile devices, thus there likely isn't a large desire inside of Microsoft to have the absolute best looking, best performance service because there's no need and at the end of the day, Nvidia will always beat Microsoft and Sony at that game.
Microsoft don't need to be the best of the best, it just needs to be great enough and have compelling features which are coming.
Want to blame someone, blame regulators, Lol. Improvements will come this year.
