Having the enthusiast press of an entire industry on your payroll or at least tamed can prop up a shitty product for a long time.

Everyone that understands the media game in the U.S/UK market. Pay to Play baby. Access/Ad money/Relationships/Career advancement. The mix is that simple. Sony can spread the dough... it's just business. Want to be frugal? Well go ahead... but you're letting your competition fill the vacuum and compensate for their shortcomings with media space cover up - as Phil says "perception management". Ain't nothing free, and ain't nothing fair.
The tools of war are equally there for access.

Literally half the staff of EGM for the first two years of Xbox existing went on to work for MS or MS-owned studios by the time the 360 came out.Wait you're telling me the likes of

Holy fuck. Two of the worst takes in 2023 Gaming Twitter from one man. His first was picking over 343's carcass the actual day 343 was gutted.
If only there was a thing called bad management. We can't decide that yet with Phil since he is new to the job, only 8+ years so far...give him time

The whole year is the prediction, but official guidance only covers the next quarter.
Things are DIRE.
predicting declines means no big releases next quarter either, so there goes the hopes of starfield hitting in June.

Could the GP numbers be so bad that Microsoft is delaying games to bump numbers?
If 10 million subscribed in October to play Starfield in November, who are then told Starfield has a short delay, how many of those 10 million would cancel their GP?
I know it sounds a bit conspiracy theory whacky, but all of the companies that give you '1 free month!' do it knowing that the majority of people won't cancel their subs out of laziness.

yeah, xbox one x are worthless now, so i wouldn't expect much. If i was looking to collect xbox, i'd be eying one of the 360 models. that would give you access to the 2 relevant gens of xbox (OG and 360) with full compatability. xbone and onwards has been a wash, not one fully exclusive title worth playing today.
