TL;DR Summary

Xbox and PlayStation have different priorities when it comes to their first-party games. Sony is focusing on live-service games, with a clear trend towards sci-fi shooters, while still producing polished, cinematic, single-player action games. Xbox, on the other hand, is now a Game Pass business, which allows for more relaxed game design and less aggressive monetization. Xbox's main focus is on engagement and happy players, rather than maximizing revenue from each game. The success of Game Pass will determine whether this approach is sustainable in the long run.
