It seems Xbox has noticed the trend of games not launching on or avoiding its consoles entirely

In 2024, when a new game is announced, you can usually count on it to be released on PC, PlayStation, and possibly Switch. But it’s become a bit less of a guarantee that new games or ports will land on Xbox consoles, and it seems Microsoft is aware of this and is asking devs why…

      Ah, so I guess I did know, thanks. But still, my doubt isn’t good.

        Yeah the naming is pretty dumb, especially given the fact that the “Series X” replaced the “Xbox One X”.

        They’ve brought so much brand confusion just because they didn’t want to have a situation where “Xbox 2” had to go up against “PS3” back in 2005. I still don’t know why they didn’t just skip a number to have parity with Sony.
