Like I said yesterday, this is why there weren't more exclusives announced. This and they also didn't want to pull PS5 ports that were already announced last year like Halo and FH6. They just don't have consoles for exclusives to move, when the sales slumped after Phil's multiplatform move for their first party, Phil lessened the volume of their S and X production orders, and their hardware production partners took other manufacturing deals to fill the space, mainly lucrative AI server parts deals. Now Xbox is left with the prospect of paying more money to produce Series S and X units than they sell for.
Hopefully they delay Project Helix to 2028 or 2029 and quickly design a Project Helix S console so that they have a mass market product for exclusives to sell next gen, because exclusives aren't going to be able to move very many of the rumored $1000+ main Xbox Helix console if that is their only console.
