Did Halo Infinite's Delay Actually Harm the Xbox Series X's Launch? - Episode 73

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. While Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and S seem to be off to a great start at launch, the launch lineup clearly remains a sticking point for many (and rightfully so). But has Halo Infinite’s departure from the launch window of the new systems really hurt sales of the systems as much as initial thought? Phil Spencer doesn’t. This week, we breakdown a new interview involving Xbox’s head honcho and why he thinks that launch lineups may not be as impactful as many think when it comes to initial sales of new hardware. So you know what that means? It’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. Plus, 343 Industries is planning to give fans a “high level” update to Halo Infinite’s development within the next few weeks, but just don’t expect it at the Game Awards (which we believe is a smart move). What does this “high level” update need to highlight for fans to walk away satisfied? Also, while Bethesda titles may not be exclusive to Xbox platforms in the future, Xbox chief executive officer Tim Stuart believes they will be offered as running “best” or “better” within the Xbox ecosystem. Is offering purposely weaker versions of titles to other platforms a slippery slope to slide, or will Xbox’s low barrier to entry mitigate these concerns? All of this and much more on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast!
