The Exclusives Strike Back: Xbox Pivots Away From Multiplatform Strategy
Microsoft is reportedly reversing its controversial 'Project Latitude' strategy, which involved bringing major Xbox titles to competing platforms. CEO Asha Sharma is now refocusing the division on strengthening the Xbox ecosystem through exclusive content, a move intended to drive hardware and subscription growth. This strategic shift coincides with internal restructuring and the layoff of 3,200 employees, signaling a retreat from the multiplatform experiment as the company seeks to reclaim its identity and competitive edge in the console market.
