Rumblings of a major XBox announcement in a post Activision/Blizzard acquisition world slated for mid-Feb 2024 started a number of rumors around what might happen...would all XBox games go cross platform?  What would this mean for the XBox hardware?!?

Then on Feb 15th....Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty fulfilled the special announcement...with a whopping 4 games (all unnamed) slated to go cross platform...followed by a lot of corp speak. And, ahead of that, there was an internal meeting where they seemed to be doubling down on the XBox hardware.

So it seemed like the wild speculations...were untrue....or were they?

In this episode, Rob and PJ pick apart the XBox strategy...analyze what is there and speculate what is still yet to come...
