Biggest eyeroll possible and more of the usual dooming from the industry which only last month was widely praising Xbox going more multiplatform, Lol. You could say it will hurt Xbox hardware but we don't have enough information for that, we can't predict 5-10 years from now and we don't even know the full extent of their multiplatform plans but the Xbox division isn't going anywhere.

I've been somewhat critical of Phil Spencer and some of his decisions over the years, but I agree this seems overly doom and gloom. I hardly think Xbox is going to die outright anytime soon. Traditional Xbox hardware may die, but it seems like it will very likely be replaced with Xbox PC-console hybrids if that does happen. Meanwhile Xbox is definitely here to stay as both a publisher and a service provider via Gamepass.

Pretty sure it came down to the Executives above him told him to either shape up and do this or him losing the job/the xbox IP and brand sold.
