So looking at recent 2020 stats, Sony has got the lead by 2:1 in console sales. Software sales would be even worse for Microsoft, of course. It makes me wonder, how much profit do they make for each Xbox console sold? Are the profit margins really that great to go through another decade with inferior sales?
I looked at the exclusives list for the Xbox One, and really, I was disappointed ( I own a PC). Similarly with the PS4, I don't own one because there simply aren't enough exclusives to really make me buy one, even though I know the PS4 has more.
Instead of dishing out another Xbox, which will more or less look and play like the PS5 but sell much less - and after 2/3 years, both consoles become technologically irrelevant...why doesn't Microsoft focus on building games for the PC market? Games that push the boundaries every 2 years - ultimately outshining any software that comes out for the PS5 long-term.
I'm not saying gamers will have to upgrade their specs every 2/3 years - because you have graphics settings to match your specs - and these days even setting games to LOW, you still get great quality. I'm just saying, push the boundaries, show gamers what is really next gen, physics and graphics wise. Do something truly innovative - instead of limiting yourself for the next 10 years.
I guess I'm writing this idealistic post because it's hard to be excited for the next 10 years simply because games will have no loading times and look slightly better.
