Some just feel like Xbox has fumbled the bag, and this is the next step

“How do I feel? Shocked and surprised, mostly. But MS has no one to blame, but themselves. They had the console world in their hands during the 360/PS3 era and threw it all away chasing trends and ignoring the simple fact that games sell gaming consoles. Not TV. Not sports. Not gimmick motion controls. Not your user interface. Games. They bled all their talented studios dry. They let all their intellectual properties sit around. And when they finally realized they were in trouble, their response, as MS always does, was to go around trying to buy everybody else out. They are a giant soulless conglomerate who have no idea how to innovate or create, so they have to force people into monopolies to survive. I hate the idea that Sony is about to not have any competition, because that’s going to lead to arrogant Sony, but when MS was fucking everything up so royally for so fucking long, this was bound to happen.” – MALprac
