@gatorboi352 I'm sorry which part of Xbone was genius? The part where they made the most hated console reveal of all time managing the trinity of alway online DRM, a ban on second games and a built Kinect camera you cant turn off. Then telling their fans "If you don't like it buy a 360". Then hastily removing all those "features" and just releasing a console that was practically no different than a PS4.

Or do you mean the bit after release where almost every third party exclusive they made went over to the PS4? Most recent example being Tomb Raider which Microsoft paid tens of millions for an exculisivity deal.

Or perhaps you mean how no Xbone (or PS4) exclusive has sold more than 3 million? Which is less than Mario Kart 8 (8 million), Mario 3D world (5 million), Mario Maker (3.7 million) and Splatoon (4.5 million). This despite PS4 and Xbone exclusives having roughly 3 times the budget. AAA gaming is careening towards a massive crash, toning the hardware may be the only thing that saves them.
