It shouldn't have got to this point really, I never shared the view that as a console, it couldn't be a major success globally. I felt it needed the right culture, mindset and leadership/executive team to do so. They started on that path with 360 but never built on it.
I think their shills and influencers were giving the game away anyway the last couple of years by trying to shame critical fans as console warriors and so on. The messaging about console wars and constant talk about where you play was only leading to this.
Regardless I think it's not worth being disappointed about , from what I've experienced lately in that community it's lost it's fun and it's more like a hive mind with Microsoft friendly influencers driving the narratives.
I used to be a passionate fan but they aren't worth the considerable time now , the fakes have ruined it, they would rather try to shame fans for wanting them to do better.
Regardless of what that showcase would have been the same people would be out there pushing how great it was. It's the same behavioural pattern year after year. These shills/influencers have played its part in regressing the brand as a console, well done I guess.
