Is it even worth it to get an Xbox console when their games are releasing on other platforms now?

With a lot of Xbox's own games are releasing on PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. The new Indiana Jones game dropped on PS5 recently and is massively popular on the platform. They are getting the upcoming Gears of War remaster and who knows what else Xbox will be porting to other platforms. And if the rumors of Gamepass getting put on other platforms, what is even the point in buying an Xbox console? I am considering buying a PS5 at some point, since if Xbox games are releasing on the platform, and if Gamepass gets added, it will be the best option imo. What do you think though? 

I've yet to get any of the new consoles, but if there is a chance of all Xbox games releasing on other platforms, I see no need for an Xbox and I could either get a Switch 2 or PS5. This way you'd also get all the PlayStation exclusives. Do you think Microsoft moving in this direction is a good idea? I suppose they could easily survive off of gamepass and could become a new Steam/Epic games style of service. That's what I see it turning into at some point. Just a gamepass service that can work on some platforms.

Absolutely, an Xbox is still worth it. Besides exclusive titles like Halo, Xbox offers superior hardware, Game Pass access, and features like backward compatibility. It’s a great way to enjoy a wide range of games, even those available on other platforms.

Xbox hardware now represents an ecosystem entry point rather than an exclusive container. The value proposition has shifted from 'only place to play these games' to 'optimal experience for these games plus ecosystem benefits.' The integration of Game Pass, cloud features, and consistent interface across devices creates a cohesive experience that transcends individual game availability.
