I think MS realized their army of loons, which they created, can inflict lots of reputational damage to Xbox if MS proceeds as planned and the loonies turn.
MS will scale down their plans, announce a “just the tip” event for the Xbot loons next week, reassure them it won’t hurt, and slowly move towards becoming a third-party publisher while distancing themselves from the freaks.

People don't have a clue, bottom line is if this was not serious then they wouldn't of brought forward the plan by doing an announcement. They would of simply denied the rumor from the outset and carried on.
- Grub said rightfully that the strategy failed so they are pivoting.
- Hardware is not still being worked on, however no idea what this actually means.
- XboxEra still saying its whole slate but Nate is retracting his statement.
Fair enough if it is not the whole slate and only some of them, its still a concession on there original strategy and also may i add a omission of gamepass subscription numbers at the shareholder meeting sounds like weak positioning.
But for all we know it could be more acquisition news, i am worried about Square Enix restructuring especially when they flattened there org chart as it seems now ripe for acquisition and i fear this might be announced soon and we all know Satya is aggressive with his acquisition strategy.

I doubt the acquisition thing. There were even some recent rumors on era about Sony sniffing around Square.
I don't think they'll stop making consoles but I'm willing to bet a lot of stuff will eventually get ported to PS and Switch.
I guess we’ll find out this week.
If Xbox release games like Starfield, Hi Fi Rush which are less than a year old, plus games like Halo, Flight Simulator on PS5 etc. Its over.
Not being exclusives kills your chances of selling consoles or reason to buy there games on your console
Honestly. I don’t give a shit. Starfield was mid, and I don’t care about most Xbox games. No matter what the announcement will be, after next week we’ll go back asking”when is the next PS showcase”. If anything. This gave us fun entertainment watching their fanboy’s meltdown, and it finally exposed them for being a cult.
He can tell the truth about them not abandoning hardware but then later find out that they've shifted to 3rd party licensing for the hardware which would match up with what the leaker, Gestridens said. Lol. My guts is telling me their strategy no doubt has changed. Tim Stuart and Satya have pretty much alluded to this leading up to all these leaks. The entertaining part will be how much will they toy with their fanboys?
I doubt they give their entire plan away next week. They'll need to string the zealots along and let them down gently.
MS is a huge distraction. When it comes to them people talk more about acquisitions and rumors than actual games.
Then they are stupid and killed Xbox anyway in exchange for nothing.
