I hope Shinji Mikami refuses to do a Xbox version of what ever game he does. This would be a good time for PlayStation to fund some 2nd party games from Shinji Mikami.
(With his days at Tango Gameworks now behind him, Shinji Mikami is now setting up a brand-new studio named Kamuy. Though he has yet to formally unveil any information regarding this new company of his, given the Resident Evil creator's pedigree, there's a good chance that Kamuy's debut project could be yet another astounding addition to the long list of great games directed by Shinji Mikami.)
They are ok with Xbox being dead when they are selling PS5 games and making far more money by doing so. They will just drop the Xbox brand and fold everything into Microsoft games be 100% 3rd party. Plus all the switch 1/2 games they will sell. You don't need a Xbox brand without the console hardware.
FOR CLARITY. I'm saying multiplatform stuff for Xbox is happening, not the "Sarah Bond will announce it."
It would be awful to let Sarah take the heat for this, since it's failure of Xbox projects Sarah wasn't even vaguely involved in, since 2012, that has led to this.
Microsoft has essentially decided they aren't going to make enough money with the current strategy. They want to build healthier margins and cash flow using Sony's install base, to then reinvest in growing the Xbox ecosystem using that money.
@CharlieChooChoo They still will be using a out of date game engine that hold back what the game could be with modern game engine. Bethesda should be using ID Tech or UE5.

@dark_knightmare2 They had good 1st party games for the 360 and that make a difference.
Re: Rumour: Even More Xbox Exclusives Coming to PS5 Than Already Reported
Timdog on why Xbox is going third-party
Tim has heard that Call of Duty may not be coming to game pass.
Hardware sales have not met the projected sales and the CFO got spooked.
In the last three months of last year, they had consoles for $350 and no one cared.
Xbox One was more wanted than Series consoles.
They said the hardware is dead, and they are seeing declines in hardware year over year.
Game pass is unsustainable; the market they have is not enough to offset the cost.
Tim heard from someone at Microsoft that you may not like Xbox when they get Activision. They want ROI.
He heard that Xbox has an insane showcase with tons of games, but everyone is going to be saying asterisks.
The leaks happened because a Microsoft employee who didn't want this to happen leaked it, so there would be a public outcry.
Microsoft now has no problem buying more companies in the future if all games go to all platforms.
Tim thinks they will go all-digital, with ads on game pass (pre-roll or at the end of a chapter e.g. Like a Dragon) and AI community managers.
