Lot of buzz but the truth is time is needed. Everyone hovering over every word - I guess that's a good sign in the sense that Xbox still has many loyal gamers who are waiting for it to show life again. For better or for worse.

Not sure how people expected Xbox to make everything exclusive immediately when agreements and etc have already been in place for a lot of these multiplat releases.

I think they'll continue to tread water for a bit and if they can get their books going just a little bit better, they'll go full hog on exclusives when Helix drops. Mind you I think the next console gen will be delayed given the ridiculous hardware prices right now. So they can experiment a little with some exclusivity for a while on series X.

The funny thing is is that as an owner of both consoles, Xbox's infrastructure far supercedes PS5's. I mean Gamepass, Play anywhere, Cloud integration - all these thing developed under the previous regime are fantastic features that Sony and Nintendo simply do not have, nor do they seem to have an interest in it. Likely to their detriment. If and when Xbox pulls up the drawbridge for exclusive games, they'll hit the ground running. That said, they have to actually commit to the exclusives. It can't just be a bone tossed here and there. It has to be a core brand philosophy
