Jason Howell: 微软裁员对游戏部门造成了显著影响，多个游戏项目和工作室受到波及。Xbox为被裁员工提供了在微软游戏部门内部申请其他职位的机会。虽然一些项目被取消，但今年Xbox游戏展示会上展示的第一方游戏不会受到影响。
Huyen Tue Dao: 考虑到行业现状和Xbox的整体表现，我对游戏被取消并不感到惊讶，但仍然感到失望。尽管微软游戏在收入方面表现良好，但Xbox的品牌形象和主机销量似乎不如PlayStation和任天堂Switch。
Tom Merritt: 传闻新的Xbox将在2027年推出，这可能会为微软带来复兴的机会。同时，Phil Spencer否认了关于他即将退休的传言。
