It's pretty clear why they "lost" though. No stanning required. Xbox was a means to an end to control the entertainment in the living room to Microsoft when the Xbox One came out. The focus wasn't on putting out the best gaming console possible it was on using Xbox to sell other things and have it be some living room entertainment hub.

Also Xbox has always had a throw money at a problem to attempt to make it go away policy vs throw money at the most competent people possible to succeed.

Someone will inevitably step in and hopefully do what they were incapable of, but outside of the 360 run, I won't miss anything about the Xbox brand or era when they inevitably shutter the division.

Microsoft should have turned the sidekick into a handled gaming device
