Xbox lost their identity.

Xbox was a Live Games platform. they lost that identity trying to please everyone not their core audience.

compare to Nintendo - who stuck to their identity - as fun games first. graphics not necessary.

they can cut so many jobs - but unless they return to what makes Xbox great. the platform / ecosystem won't recover.



They immediately benefit from cutting things that hemorrhage money. The consumer's opinion can worsen and it's still a good move. When you lose 64 cents for every dollar invested you can simply stop spending - it's that simple.
