No exclusives and it seems like a clear path to no Xbox. No future for the Xbox and it seems like a clear path to losing access to all of your digital content that only works on Xbox. These are the reasons I stopped buying consoles a long time ago, but I understand this to be a large part of the outrage. Me personally, I just see a market where Sony runs away with a monopoly if Xbox isn’t there to keep them in check, and I thought this was why the ABK purchase happened in the first place.
Counterpoint: Gamepass. I doubt Microsoft wants to split revenue on that with Sony, and I doubt Sony would allow a competitor to their own subscription service anyway.
So I don’t see Xbox hardware going away anytime soon, though it could change to a stripped down Windows PC instead. But they’re going to have some inexpensive Gamepass system.
