Xbox’s Controversial U-Turn Makes No Sense To Me

Xbox is trying to manufacture a comeback, and to some extent, I understand the strategy. If Xbox's Project Helix is going to be a success after two abysmal console generations, there needs to be a reason for consumers to buy into Microsoft's gaming ecosystem. This year's Xbox Games Showcase made it clear that the return of console exclusives is that reason. It's an unfortunate turn for consumers after Xbox's multi-platform endeavors in recent years, but I understand the larger vision. Binning the PlayStation 5 version of Gears of War: E-Day, however, isn't adding up.
