At Halo Infinite ikke længere er nogen lanceringstitel til den kommende Xbox Series X-konsol er naturligvis ikke nogen fordelagtig position for Microsoft at være i, og det er den slags der kræver at man lige træder et skridt tilbage, og revurderer strategien frem imod noget så signifikant som en platformlancering.
Så derfor kunne noget tyde på at vi kommer til at vente lidt længere på Xbox Series X-information, og en formel afsløring af Xbox Series S, end først forventet. Om ikke andet er det det som insider Shinobi602 hentyder til i et indlæg på ResetEra.
"I think it's a blow to launch, no doubt. Infinite was a huge pillar behind the Series X, the big game Microsoft would center launch around. It's not the *only* selling point, but a big one. The decision to delay was no doubt a very, very difficult one to make. Having known people who had to get projects done in time for launch no matter the costs, it took some balls to call this by the studio, undoubtedly facing down a line of angry execs. Maybe however it is just a sign of the industry maturing, and not just deciding to break the team in order to launch at any cost...ultimately, it's for the best for the game and team. At the same time, expect news about other Xbox stuff that's been going around recently to come a bit later too."
Men præcis hvor længe vides naturligvis ikke, og der kan jo af gode grunde ikke gå alt for længe, når nu konsollerne skal lanceres til efteråret - begge to.
