I’ve noticed that 30+ million isn’t much to Sony fanboys, yet what is the % of PS owners that buy these games that want to skip XB? Why miss out on more sales?

For the sake of thread positivity and non thread derailment, lets agree to disagree.
From a dollars and sense perspective, I can understand why many publishers and developers skip xbox. For many, they can't justify the resources/cost to get a game on a system that significantly lacks consumers behind its competition.
More to counter Jez's point, I'm starting to see more and more Japanese publishers and devs skip the PS5 in lieu of the Switch and PC. So if they're skipping the PS5 at 60+ million sold, you can be sure the xbox is an after thought.
Well, I can't argue that developers are going to do what makes them the most money. Based on your comments, and what is happening in the industry, it must cost a fortune (and I mean very expensive) to port a game.
Old-ish article:
How Much Does It Really Cost to Port a Game?

In this article, we'll delve into the nuances of game porting costs, offering insights that reflect our experience, expertise, and the trust we've built in the

The cost have more than likely increased dramatically. And with every publisher cutting corners everywhere (I.E. the great game layoff of 2024) I only imagine its going to get worse.
On the more positive note, I'm glad to see Xbox studio really starting to hit their stride when it comes to quality releases. HellBlade and Indiana Jones I hope are more the standard of things to come.

Too soon, they might tease something, but it’ll probably be software related for some current stuff that will be used to refine said tech for next gen
I don't think they'll tease or announce anything this year. With a strong software lineup this year, there really is no need.
I think they will for a 2026 release.
But would actually be better off doing both in the same year.

I don't know what Microsoft's end goal is with Xbox, so what they do this year is anyone's guess. They're de-emphasizing the need for a console but pushing that their next console will be leaps and bounds more powerful than the last. They want to push gamepass but then put their console exclusives on other platforms. So I think I've got a better chance of picking a winning NCAA tournament bracket than understanding what Microsoft is going to do this year and beyond.
Just like the guy who posted this trash here.
Imagine being like 50+ years old and resorting to this nonsense on a video game forum.
I’m no where near my 50+ I still got decades, decades
He looks like a Russian plant meant to just disrupt and maybe terrorize?
