I bought the newest console to play the most recent Halo. It truly sucked
The first Bethesda exclusive game was Starfield. It truly sucked
The recent focus has been towards online multiplayer and GAAS. Toxic games and toxic service models.
The ads are insane. Sometimes I'll turn the console on to a full screen ad about Diablo or Game Pass I have to acknowledge before actually using the console. Beyond that there is designated space on the home menu for 3 different banner ads.

Just my opinions as someone that's enjoyed that xbox brand since the first one, and stuck with it out of convenience and from making friends on the network there. Next "console" is a proper gaming computer

I've grown a bit tired of the Xbox experience as well with some of what you've mentioned. I also don't play every single game that comes out, just a select few with whatever free time I do have. I want to get away from online gameing if I can, though I'm not against it my preferences are just shifting so I want to gravitate more to single player games and currently I'm considering the next Switch console (Switch 2?) and just play all the first party games Nintendo is known for, Zelda, Mario, Starfox, etc and all their retro games that'll be on the online store. I could get lost for years with that content. Really excited to possibly have that option for myself in the future. Just thought I'd share a different perspective.
