I fact like many other here I have switch to mostly PC gaming from Xbox during the gen. So this is just Xbox following the flow of their userbase.

I mean, more like you all were pushed towards PC, so I wouldn't say that "this is Xbox following the flow of their userbase", I would say this is Microsoft directing their user base to where they want them to be.

This does not make sense though, if MS could push their usebase onto something they would of course keep them on a propriatery device and close ecosystem that generate more marging, and this is what they did historically, but it simply no longer feasible. Part of it is because Xbox failed to remain relevant enough to make this approach doable but also the reality of the market which require always more 'relevancy' to make it doable, which Xbox don't have, while the market itself have not grown much the last 2 gen.

In short Xbox need more user and Xbox consoles do not have a sufficiently large userbase. So this is MS following where the sufficiently large userbase is. Which is a continuation of the strategy they implemented ever since the Xbox one debacle.
