Xbox really shot itself in the foot. Let’s just say that the company chose the worst time in video game history to deliver an underpowered, miss-messaged, device-laden console in the Xbox One. Riding high off the Xbox 360, Xbox was poised to go to-to-toe with Sony‘s PS4, and then… it didn’t.
A whole generation of good-will was gone in the blink of an eye, and Sony ran away with a huge audience now locked in to a digital library future. The result of all this, a generation-long denouncement by gamers for crimes against… well, gamers, is a feeling among some that the Xbox doesn’t have many good games.
Let’s assume Xbox is bringing its games to PS5, Switch, and future non-Xbox consoles. It’s still rumor at this point, and we don’t know to what extent the Xbox-owned library will match what’s released on its own consoles, but we’ll play along as something is clearly afoot.
