Recently, there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the upcoming Xbox game, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, and its availability on PlayStation 5. Many people are wondering why Xbox boss Phil Spencer is not providing clear explanations. Some even believe that Spencer should step down from his position, as he and his team have not been making good decisions for Xbox.
It's clear that Xbox is no longer solely focused on creating consoles. They have been "Dreamcasted" and are now an "ex-console maker". While they will continue to sell consoles, they are not fully invested in the console market. This is evident in the fact that they are now releasing games on multiple platforms, with different exclusivity plans for each game.
For example, Starfield will be exclusive to Xbox, while Indiana Jones And The Great Circle will be a timed exclusive and Doom: The Dark Ages will be available on multiple platforms from the start. This randomness in decision-making has left many people confused and unable to predict what will happen with future games.
Why was Starfield not brought to PlayStation 5 earlier, especially since it did not perform as well as expected? And why is Indiana Jones not going to be available on multiple platforms from the start, when it's clear that it will not do well on just Xbox? These decisions seem to have no logic behind them, and it's unclear why Xbox is making them.
Spencer has stated that they will make decisions on a case-by-case basis, but there doesn't seem to be any clear logic behind these decisions. It almost seems like they are picking random numbers out of a hat. This lack of direction and purpose is concerning, and it seems like Xbox is purposefully trying to discourage people from buying their consoles.
Releasing Indiana Jones on PlayStation 5 in early 2022 will only deter potential Xbox buyers. Many people have pointed this out, so it's hard to believe that Microsoft didn't realize this. It almost seems like they are looking for excuses to exit the console business.
In reality, Xbox has already gone third-party. While they will still have influence and be a major player in the gaming industry, they no longer have their own identity or format. They are simply a shell of their former self, and it's a shame that they could have been so much more with better leadership.
In the end, it's clear that Xbox is going through some major changes. They have already abandoned this generation's console and are focusing on releasing games on multiple platforms. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Xbox, but one thing is for sure - they will never be the same as they were when they started.
