Hey I'm a bit late on this one, but this was interesting. I agree on the fact that you need strong exclusives to sell consoles, still to this day. And yes, PC is still scary for some gamers, compared to consoles, which you can pick and just play games. BUT I think the PC is slowly taking players from the console ecosystem. Because right now, with amd you can easily get a good PC for the same price. And this generation too much games runned like shit on console. A lot of Xbox exclusive are on PC, game pass is on pc. And finally, of course the next Gen consoles will be a better deal than a 500€ PC. But games are cheaper on PC. Because new games are not at 70€, the steam sales, epic sales and humble bundle have great deals. And every week you have free games on epic and some times on steam too. And you don't have to get a subscription to play online. So in the end PC gaming is becoming cheaper. We can't think only about the hardware. But yeah in the end I don't really understand this choice for the new Xbox, it's hard to get what they really want to do.
