The thing that really gets me about Xbox Series X|S, is that the fact that Microsoft knew there was discussions about going multi-platform before the launch. There is no way they decided that on a whim, so what was their expectation to prevent that from happening? Would the system needed to cross 50 million units in sales to maintain their exclusive push, or what? The first year was solid, even the 2nd year wasn't bad all things considered, but they have just been cannibalizing themselves. A healthy level of competition is great for the consumer and we don't have that anymore.
