They are the worst-performing console of all time by miles that we have statistics for in Japan. Last week they sold less than 1 Xbone an hour in the entire country, and have just barely sold over 50,000 consoles LTD after over 7 months.

the xbone is only "successful" in the US and to a lesser degree our wannabe cousins in canada and the uk

for definitions of successful that include running in second place having blown up millions in R&D on a new business model that had to be killed prior to launch, closing your media arm with only an et documentary to show for it, paying retailers millions to keep accepting stock, bringing down your fedramp certifed government services cloud on game launch day and being stuck back in the razor thin margins of retail console video games when you spent a decade trying to get out from under that operation

"successful"

"successful" as in "selling less in a quarter than ps4 did in the first 3 months of 2015"

we here at Microsoft just know you're going to love the new start "menu"

e: they removed the "expand" option and just made it this huge bloated mess. There is approx 1/5 of the screen not covered by the start menu now.

yes, microsoft will never stop believing that a single UI can suit all input methods before all management is sanitized in several ditches and new management is bought in, at this rate it'll need to come from outside rather than underneath

steve "the shaved gorilla" ballmer fired anybody even remotely competent enough to threaten his throne and the culture of internal backstabbing around stack ranking certainly helped too
