I'm actually in favor of Xbox Series X not having console exclusives for 2 years as this generation my main console was PS4 and my 2nd/3rd console was X1.

Barely had any use for X1 as the only good console exclusives for me was the Froza series. Played Halo 5 and Gears 5 but mostly the campaign. Also it was mainly a blu-ray player for one of the rooms in the house. Clocked in 1000+ more hours on the PS4. May get more use out of X1 for the next 2 years.

Pros and Cons I see for this strategy:

Pros:
Will not miss out on first party games for 2 years. Planning on getting PS5 and keeping launch X1

Xbox Series X price may lower after 2 years (hopefully they don't release a new one with better specs)

Cons:

Hope the framerate and performance doesn't suffer when playing on my launch X1

Games may be held back on a technical and graphical level since it must work on X1 and Xbox series X

Seems like MS is more focused on software and Gamepass/Project X Cloud than hardware next gen

My cousin is upset about the Pokemon sword/shield dlc because she wanted to wait for version 2 or definitive edition and not double dip $60+ $60. Now she has to pay $60 base game + $30 dlc to get full experience

If the Pokemon company/Nintendo were clear about messaging in the beginning bet less people would be upset.

Pretty sure they held back squirtle and Bulbasaur on purpose
