if a secret sauce does exist at Microsoft, now is the time to use it.
They’re already using it. In a few years MS might own half the 3rd party studios in gaming.
If console sales decrease and services and software increase but most sales are on PC and competing platforms...then I guess the best move for MS is to just go third party and make bank on those other install bases that are obviously hesitant to let services on their consoles now given that they're competing. Turn it into a partnership. PS lets EA play and Ubisoft + on their platform so if they get rid of their console GPU with the Xbox first party games would be a big seller on those popular platforms
