Part 7/11:
Some industry analysts have speculated whether Microsoft might consider delaying the Series X itself to align better with Halo Infinite's release, but there has been no official indication that such a move is under consideration. Until then, Microsoft's launch lineup will rely on other titles and backward-compatible games, like Skyrim, to carry momentum.
Industry and Community Reactions
The gaming community’s reactions have been mixed but largely positive regarding the decision to delay. Supporters commend 343 Industries for prioritizing quality and avoiding the pitfalls of rushing an unfinished product. Others are disappointed that a previously anticipated flagship title won't be available on day one, potentially impacting initial sales and fan enthusiasm.
