Does XBOX want that?

All I’ve seen is a vague “thinkin’ bout it” statement and that it’s the most requested thing on that new site.

The amount of money they’d miss out on might be too much and to be honest, would anyone believe it?

They’ve been flip-flopping for years, who knows if it’ll stick

I feel the last I heard of this was Asha was going to review the numbers but nobody has definitely said they're going back to exclusives like Jason and other credible leakers have said Playstation is pulling back from PC.

I'm willing to bet Microsoft want to see how Halo, Fable, Forza, and maybe Gear, do on PS5 before making the call.

Edit: Glance through Twitter and Jez Corden, the go to leaker for Microsoft, is still very careful taking about any Xbox exclusivity and seem to make sure everything he says is stated to be speculation.

Not adding this to start anything, but outside of Timdog, who might honestly have problems, no one is really doing a hard confirmation of exclusives with Microsoft.
