I agree that's what they can do I just don't think they have any interest in doing that anymore. I think MS similar to embracer put themselves in a very poor position at the worst possible time considering interest rates and gaming on a downturn post covid. That's why everything appears so erratic from them lately. Things are changing behind the scenes and I assume MS has taken over Xbox's strategy from here on out. 

Either way I think we will find out soon one way or the other. Things seem to be moving quicker than even I expected.

It depends, MS are not dumb, they know if they want to continue being a platform, they also need games, even if its like 5 out of 10 remain exclusives.

MS don't care, and likely rather they go 3rd party, simple and has higher profit margins.
They have the money.... they just want more.

Something like Hi-fi rush probably was profitable, but they dont want games that barely make profit....
they want big tittles that makes 10 times the returns, and in bigger numbers (to even care about them).
Otherwise, there's the door (closes down studio).

Now you see them opening up a Mobile Phone Storefront.
Which will need support....  So they are going to move people from makeing pc/console content, to start makeing mobile games.

That is not the move of someone that cares about "continueing being a platform".

You have phil, saying you dont need a xbox.
They dont care where you play.

Which used to mean, you can play on pc as well.
Now lots of titles are going to playstation and switch.

You can only see that as a "we honestly dont care about the hardware platform" take.
They are going 3rd party.

Everything they do and say, is pointing that way.
They just havn't yet come out and directly said it.
