I think, their strategy is actually the reverse. They try to strengthen XBOX by making this game a quasi-exclusive for it.

I don’t think, they’ll gain many new XBOX customers with Starfield, as it’s neither so exceptionally good, nor does it do things, you can’t find in other games, to make anyone buy a new console for it.

But since their other big IP this year, Redfall, was a complete dud, they’re probably rather even worried of losing long-time customers.
