I may be responsible for the Xbox fiasco

Clearly someone on the executive team saw it and got some ideas. :messenger_dizzy:

Or, it's possible that I am a time traveler and I was trying to hint at the future to come...but I can neither confirm nor deny.




Seems like you were at least 25 days too late.

Well, there's probably something there if you read between the lines, but he was still pushing a very different vision at that time than what we ended up with :D

Like this?
I'm not so sure, I think steam will be around one way or another. Think closed PC gaming is what the online portion may benefit from for casual gaming i.e. Halo, gears, cod. The PC will benefit from both having open software sites like steam and ms store for consistency in the live network.... And it all runs in your PC.. Sony in demolishing Xbox in sales this generation may have forced ms to flex its muscles and opened up something Sony may have no answer for. Ps4 subscription base 100 million in 3 years, Windows 10 ...1 billion.... Even at 20% of those Windows users playing games that's a huge difference.

Even COD is mentioned, who is from the future now :messenger_grinning:

To be fair, many of us felt MS was seeking to exit the market and just focus on Windows or be a publisher or something like that for a long time now.

I felt like so many of their moves looked like the desire to be a publisher and move away from making hardware, so the whole thing with them branding PCs with "XB" isn't that shocking to many of us.

You were spot on btw
