Feel like xbox doesn't care much about marketshare since their new strategy is turning everything into an xbox, which is probably why there was next to no deals this christmas. Can't help but to think this new vision for xbox will eventually bite them in the ass but I guess we will see lol

They are likely bleeding money from the hardware all these years and the higher ups are wanting a much better return.

It's this, they already make a loss of $100-$200 per Xbox Series sold, I think even before sales. Microsoft straight up told Phil they aren't subsiding hardware anymore than they are already doing. Hardware parts aren't getting cheaper, some are even getting more expensive, Lol. And after all the layoffs this year, it's pretty obvious that Xbox is trying to shore up profit margins.

Plus the deemphasis (not total disregard) of hardware, in that hardware isn't all Xbox is anymore, I honestly think Microsoft will be fine with the next Xbox hardware selling "only" 20-30m units as long as it's profitable. I do wonder what the full range of "Xbox hardware" will be but I'm bored of predicting that stuff now and would just rather wait and see their plans from their own mouths now, Lol.
