The kids? Boomer? How old are you, 13? Halo couldn’t possibly be for “boomers,” I doubt many boomers actually know what Halo even is.
Regardless, my point remains. Xbox would be killing their hardware completely if they remove their only reasons that people buy Xbox. For many people, myself included, Halo is why I bought Xbox in 2001 and still to this day. If PlayStation has Xbox’s biggest IPs, what’s even the point of buying Xbox hardware anymore? Sony won’t put their exclusives on Xbox.
So when everyone goes to buy a game console their only choice is PlayStation. And with no real competition in the console market (no, Nintendo is not competing with their mid-range Android phone hardware), Sony can do the PS3 launch pricing all over again. And there is no competition to lower prices for consumers.

Game Pass really, that’s the service MS is betting on. Sure, GP could come to other competing major consoles, but it’s just going to be xcloud.
To run any GP game, natively, is likely to remain with needing an Xbox console or PC for a long long time. And the first major console will probably be on something from Nintendo, just like it’ll be a cold day in hell before Sony releases any of their s-tier first party stuff on Xbox it’ll be the second cold day in hell before they allow GP on their console.
Have you never heard people calling old things boomer shit? Boomer shooter rings a bell? Even if halo isn’t as old as those, it’s still more than 2 decades old. Perhaps xbox’s issue is that most of their biggest ips (including the ones they acquired) are 2 decades old
The year of Linux was when Intel decided to fully support its hardware using in-house developers in upstream open source projects (Linux kernel, Mesa). Then pretty much everyone else followed. That was ages ago and now Linux is everywhere.

Nintendo’s biggest IP, Mario, is at least 4 decades old, what’s your point? How is the age of an IP an issue?
Nintendo has a different audience, just look at the comment above.
Edit: they also have less competition in their genres in comparison to the countless fps games halo needs to compete with
And then it will finally be the year of Linux
I hate to break it to you and everyone else on Lemmy, but you gotta rip the Band-aid off.
It will never be the year of Linux.
