However they lost their reputation and good will among the gaming community and even gaming media.
Personally, i dont think that those few gains are worth trade for them.

Atleast Phil does not believe in generations as much.

SX is pretty much last gen, so it's still held back by that garbage.

I put on my Linked In profile the brands I've worked on at companies I've been at.
I only put a handful of key ones. I don't list all 20 or 40 of them.
I wouldn't put too much into Joe Miller. Read his Tweets. Total Sony fanboy to the extreme.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
If the Series S didn’t exist, then this may be a bad idea. With the Series S though... it’s not like the barrier to entry for next gen is too high, so it could be feasible that they drop last gen. I think due to this game being more of a decade long platform, this would almost need to happen.
But this isn’t proof. We’ll just have to wait for Microsoft to say anything on the matter. I think they would have announced this with the previous update where they announced the Fall 2021 expectation if they were going to cancel the last gen versions.

Hawt comment by a no doubt big dicked Chad.
Seriously though, I dunno why people still think this. How many of the next gen titles have proven to be held back by the Series S so far? The dev kit issue is likely to blame in most cases for whatever deficit the Serieis X has vs. PS5, and even then, it's not that bad.
It's a scaled back GPU for a scaled back display technology but retains all the features of the current generation of tech. That would be like saying the inevitable AMD lower end cards are holding back PC gamers that have a 6900xt. It's ridiculous. The CPU and the SSD are the same, essentially. Open world games are not going to suffer because of the GPU. They'll just look a little ass.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Good call.

You must be really desperate for some bad news to get that out of OP.

This sounds like baseless FUD, however you see it.
It's 1 member of hundreds of people at 343i, and we haven't even started talking about the outsourced teams (who most probably will be handling the Xbone versions).
Let's wait for the official word, gents.
Microsoft are a trillion dollar company, yes. But they're not stupid enough to spend 500MN+ on their flagship IP and not expect the maximum ROI.
Again, this does have a slight chance of happening, but let's hear it from them.
Also, do note that Infinite's MP is F2P, so you're only paying (or subbing to gamepass) for the campaign + firefight (and forge if it isn't included in the free version of the MP).

What benefit will cancelling a previous gen version bring?
A game developed for 5 yrs for a hardware will always be tailored to abilities of that hardware.
Next gen version will be a bit nicer/smoother. That's about it. Regardless of existence of One version.

13 million sales say otherwise
as an Xbox fan i say it's a bad move, sales are sales, 60 odd millions ones out there, just bum p up the series versions and drop everything back for Xbox one, like a pc game.

Its stupid how this linked in profile was used as proof to start dumb rumor. Gaming forums and media are becoming a bullshit echo chamber

That's a great point. I was thinking purely along performance and fidelity considerations

Sony or ms are not likely going to ever build games on the same scale as cyberpunk. They also have less platforms to worry about

Good if true. Last gen is holding them back.

How can someone conclude this based on this piece of information is beyond me.
I see no reason for them to cancel the Xbox One version, even though a lot of people who have nothing to do with Xbox for the most part, seem to be wishing this. You don't let down people who bought One X like this either. They deserve at least Halo Infinite.
Microsoft aren't CDPR. They will ship a game that runs well on Xbox One. Already did numerous time. Xbox One is not an afterthought for them. It is a 50 millions install base.

Maybe. Still not good for their reputation. The game is literally unplayable on last gen consoles. And with Halo, of which the multiplayer is a very important component, sub-par performance is completely unacceptable.

It's more likely that a next gen version will be the sole focus of one team/studio, in order to avoid a cyberpunk fiasco.
