Would shutting out the bigger media networks from having Xbox access first all the time be a better choice? Of course, Microsoft needs to fix their marketing at the same time, because they would have to promote both the games and the media, they want Xbox gamers to see in all their socials.
They make the kind of games XGS lacks, and sure, people way who cares, weāll get these games anyway. But that remains to be seen, who the partners are for these projects.

Unlike Sony, Xbox cannot do the same trick - Xbox has been cultivating kumbaya attitude far too long. Bethesda can cut early access to codes to various publications without a problem, but Xbox? It would cause a backlash immediately.
Why would Sony need CD? They have ND and SSM after all. Owning TR wonāt change much for them. And Eidos Montreal? Deus Ex? Sony does not produce systems based games anyway.
I do believe that Sony did something with Final Fantasy IP (but not necessariily Square Enix).
It would give Sony more action adventure game in between the naughty dog games

What is that site called again where you can check how often and when games have been in the sale on Xbox?
There was one where you could check on which dates games had been discounted.
For Nintendo I use: https://www.dekudeals.com/
For PlayStation I use: https://psprices.com/
For Xbox I use:

For sure, whenever a game I want is on sale, I check to see if itās been cheaper in the past. Helps curtail some impulse purchases

Yeah Iām a little on the fence about this one.
Seems that in september it was lastly in the sale, and now again until tomorrow for 30 euros. I have enough Reward points for a 5 euro gift card, which would make it 25 euros.
But Iām also likeā¦should I wait and see if itās part of the Christmas sale and around that time Iāll have a 10 euro gift card via rewards Iām sure.
I finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 2am , super satisfyting end to the trilogy. I think every Xbox gamer who is looking for a 3rd person action-adventure game should play through the trilogy. It will fix you up real good.

That assumption is funny
Maybe there is some truth to it, but it is MW so it would sell anyway.

Iāve become much more āwait and seeā myself for that reason, not to mention Game Pass. The only games Iām willing to buy at launch (or even at more than 25% off) are ones I really want to support.
And even then I still have some regretā¦
I bought Tales of Arise for 36 bucks in July:
It went down in price 2 months later, and is even cheaper now. I still havenāt touched it.

I think what theyāre saying is that CoD is already being associated to Xbox due to the ABK deal and Xbox consoles will be getting more sales because of that.
You might be a CoD fan whose yet to buy the new gen consoles and think Xbox (and GP) might be the home of CoD in a couple of years so might as well go with it
