Does Microsoft need to change its policies? This is a question many Xbox Series S owners are asking, especially after the delay of Baldur's Gate 3's release date. With two systems coexisting in the next generation console world - Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S - there is potential for problems.
When looking back at gaming companies having more than one console exist in the current market, there have been problems caused by the two systems existing at the same time. Companies like Nintendo have had a main home console and a handheld portable system such as the Game Boy. Sony has had the PS Vita while Sega had the Game Gear. In some cases, consoles had additional hardware that could be added, such as the Mega-CD that could be added to the Mega Drive.
However, the situation facing the Xbox consoles is different. Baldur's Gate 3 was delayed due to complications with running the two systems together. The issue lies with the Xbox Series S, as it falls short due to it being a weaker system that cannot match the performance power of the Series X. This has caused a dilemma where the game must be released for both Xbox consoles at the same time.
To avoid this kind of reoccurrence, Microsoft must be willing to make some changes. The hardware will continue to get pushed to higher limits, and as such, the Series S may have delayed launches or not see some titles released on it. It may also be more beneficial for Microsoft to invest in the Xbox Series X more heavily at a future point.
For this issue to be avoided, Microsoft needs to make some changes moving forward. This includes adjusting how they market their systems, and dedicating everything to one next generation system. As an Xbox Series S owner, if Microsoft had taken these steps, it would have prevented the delay of Baldur's Gate 3.
