Certain Xbox enthusiasts have voiced concerns over Microsoft making Xbox games available on Nintendo and Sony systems, arguing that it weakens the value of investing in the Xbox platform, given the significant decline in Xbox hardware sales.

It appears that Microsoft is experiencing financial success with its multi-platform strategy, as evidenced by Sony’s PlayStation 5 April sales figures.
