I always find it fascinating when someone from EU / UK talk about 'the crash' as if it happened to them as well. That was a North American thing. Over there in EU / UK they were not affected (anywhere close to the same extent) and even had a wider variety of platforms to support that included personal computers from Amstrad and Sinclair (to name a couple).

So USA did not have Commodore and Atari computers only Atari VCS systems?

Sure, but in EU they had those and more. And PC's werent effected by the crash either.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
