Recent rumors/comments imply that it might be a closed PC (not supporting Steam or EGS), which is terrible for hardware sales, but it kinda makes sense to me since Microsoft don't want to lose their players to Valve or Epic.
Without exclusives, it's not salvageable. Even with "storefront exclusives", they'd need to make cheap hardware options. COD, Minecraft, Diablo, Forza Horizon etc going Xbox exclusive isn't gonna sell enough $1000+ hardware; it would reduce their software sales to a fraction without increasing hardware enough to come close to rivalling Playstation or Steam.
