Yeah, that reason is called "good exclusive games".
Y'all Mid Pass stans wouldn't understand.
Also, that take about GoW not having too much of an impact is wild lmao.
If even 10% of the PS playerbase got it, that means these people wouldn't get an Xbox over a PS because it doesn't have GoW.
It's telling that the Xbox was at its most competitive when it actually had games to draw people to its ecosystem.
Not to mention the optics are really bad when every time an exclusive comes out, Xbots are stuck on loop.
Demon's Souls came out, Xbots: "We good, we eating off Game Pass.

"
Returnal: "We good, we eating off Game Pass...

"
GoW: "We... We still got Game Piss, that backlog is crazy breh, I'm telling you.

"
Microsoft's strategy just ain't it and they didn't learn jack from killing Rare.
