I predicted it was going to be more one-sided than the previous generation, but that was before they acquired Bethesda and ABK which no one saw coming, and before we knew anything about COVID consequences and rising prices.

After the acquisitions, it got harder for me to predict anything, because MS could choose any route they wanted and all of them would've made sense. They can return to exclusives for the long term benefit, or go full 3rd party.

Well it's not like anyone back in 2020 could have predicited the complete wipe out of Xbox as a hardware platform.

Oh no, wait;  that's excatly what I said:

"0730 Mark" Microsoft investors will be asking serious questions about why they are in the console business. 

Hence the layoffs, releasing 1st party games to PS5, and closure of all-star studio Turn-10.

Also your prediction was wrong because Microsoft is going to start selling unsubsidized low-end gaming PCs for $800 and slapping an Xbox sticker on them. /sarcasm
