Crazy how Microsoft spent the GDP of a decent sized country on acquiring game developers to bolster Xbox, then gave that strategy about 25 months to actually work before deciding "nevermind, pivot to AI then sell it for parts."

    They really fucked up on their marketing by saying everything is an Xbox. Confusing non-gamers, annoying real gamers, and disappointing aspiring gamers.

    I wonder if the incoherent Xbox names hurt them too. I'm not into Xbox, but I couldn't tell you what is the latest model, or which model follows which. This is a barrier for entry to the ecosystem.
