You have kept telling us for years why Microsoft has a great strategy and with every passing year Xbox has been closer to its way out. Your article about the next Xbox is a year old already, so it means nothing in light of Microsoft making major changes like putting more and more of their games on Sony's PS5.

What you call a trojan horse strategy is what everyone else refers to as going third party because that's what Microsoft is really doing.

But I agree that Microsoft is one of the biggest first party publishers in the world. That's by virtue of there being only three of them.

I literally wrote an article years ago about Xbox leaving the industry but guess you conviently missed that one right?

To sum up your entire point with one question.

Why are they making another Xbox?

I have two theories as to why:

a) They are doing it for people like you, who just have to buy anything Xbox (And they are seriously overestimating how many of you there are out there) or,

b) They are scared of the impact it may have in the stock market the news that they will be leaving the console market, so they are letting their hardware sector to die slowly, until we get to the point that even investors will see it as a good thing when they finally pull the plug.
