That would be odd to me considering they have been doing it for so long and PSPlus lets you do it

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Not to resurrect the conversation about Microsoft's poor first party efforts from the dead, but it speaks volumes that both the best selling and culturally influential game they've released this generation was Cuphead.

Xbox have a variety of indie games that is better than any other platform (except pc, of course).

Cuphead is no longer exclusive to Xbox/PC.

But I really don't think it was culturally influential in any way. That'd be something like PUBG or Fortnite.

The only time Xbox influenced culture was when they left yoghurt on top of an Xbox One for too long.

To be fair while the Wii U's name was a major factor why it did so horrendously, the amount of bullet points of what Nintendo did wrong during that transition is seemingly endless.

following up "its xbox one" with "its just xbox" is a galaxy brain level of naming nintendo could only dream of

Barudak

The Wii U is not a particularly more confusing name than Super Nintendo or 3DS. The issue with the Wii U was very fundamental like "what does one tablet add to my games?" which even Nintendo failed to answer.
