Maybe that will happen, but I feel like Sony has stronger studios in its portfolio. And I say that as someone that bought an Xbox Series console and Game Pass.
Microsoft has been bad luck Brian over the past 2 years. Their acquisitions have pushed out a lot of meh games. The good exclusives haven’t been there, and the cross platform games that are made by MS just aren’t good enough to really make GamePass feel amazing.
Microsoft has been amazing about buying big names that have some real stinkers loaded in the shoot.
I don't think they had "bad luck". I think it comes from their flawed assumption that :meh developers + lots of money + lots of time = great games.
And I know some of the studios they bought like Bethesda or Arcane were great in the past but they got corrupted by greed under their former publisher and I think Microsoft hasn't yet weeded out those suits.
Also removing any "consequences" for failing is terrible. Like the people high up involved in letting redfall past QA should get degraded for example
