A week later (https://www.destructoid.com/xbox-head-promises-update-on-future-of-xbox-next-week-amid-exclusivity-rumors/), Xbox is ready to share its new business plans with everyone this Wednesday, February 15. Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, President of Xbox Sarah Bond, and Head of Xbox Gaming Matt Booty are coming together on the official Xbox Podcast at 3 p.m. EST on February 15 to share updates on the Xbox business.

Does anyone else think it's weird this information is coming in podcast format?
No further details were provided, but you have to imagine the focus will be on reports and rumors that Xbox is planning to bring some of its exclusive titles to PlayStation (https://www.destructoid.com/reports-suggest-xbox-could-put-some-major-games-on-playstation/). The rumors have shown just how divisive gamers can be, with some praising the end of the "console wars" with the hope of games being available on all platforms, while doomsayers claim this is the end of Xbox.
Me? I think the truth is probably somewhere in between. I highly doubt we'll see every Xbox IP come to PlayStation. I wouldn't expect haptic feedback when firing a Needler from Halo on PS5 or anything like that. But at the end of the day Xbox, and Microsoft, are all about that money. For games like Starfield, choosing to be Xbox exclusive essentially means leaving money on the table, especially when over 50 million PS5 units have been sold.
I guess we'll know for sure when Xbox shares its plans on February 15 at 3 p.m. EST. It will be streamed on YouTube (http://youtube.com/Xbox) and available via Podcast platforms.
