Satya Nadella has made an incredible number of bets and invested an incredible amount of money and credibility in the transform model AI future. Xbox, like a lot of businesses that aren’t the core AI business, is being sunsetted. They don’t say that, but that’s what’s happening. I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night.
That was a great read, I don’t agree with everything, but a real good read
I feel bad for the 4 guys that will be buying the Xbox Magnus.
The Xbox never should have existed.
Companies like Microsoft charge what they do so they can expand their empire, not to keep the lights on.
The Xbox had the best controller on the market for a long time, especially back in the X360 era.
I’m still very happy with the Elite Series 2 controller, although I rather use my Razer Wolverine V3 Pro these daysAnother reason for the Xbox to exist; Xbox Play Anywhere.
- Purchasing a title for Xbox, and being able to also install it on my PC is just awesome!
Wife or kids using the living room TV - not a problem, I can continue my journey on the PC
I’ll echo support for the controller. People made fun of the original huge one, but the “S” variant and its successors felt quite good in my hands. I also have an Elite Series 2 that I use with my PC and it’s been great.

Every company does that in this world, but part of the arrangement was for the product/service to increase in quality/quantity. They grow bigger by being better, and can use that bigger to get more better.
