Dude, yeah, I sure hope they're as committed as they say... Ever since I saw Halo on the OG Xbox I was hooked. I felt like I was betraying Nintendo and Sega, but some titles like Jet Set Radio Future and Sega GT made their way to Xbox, with their Dreamcast style controller and memory packs, so it felt natural to go that route.

I don't even want to think about the money I spent in this ecosystem, but I'd bet its easily over $25k!

Every other article flip flops between Xbox is dead and committing to Xbox.

And it's always meaningless corpo speak nonsense.

Not exactly inspiring MS.

This the same person that showed their Xbox account was created a month ago? With achievements that are easy to get in just a few hours?

Full size ads on startup and killing gold means its only on the business of staying in business. Xbox hasn't been decent in over a decade and a non gamer won't know how it actually worked. Plus they killed all their studios

@thirteene @DataBlade To be 100% fair, the 360 had ads, BUT sometimes said ads benefited the player. Like "watch ad to recieve free avatar items". I got some cool stuff that way. And I do think that a non-gamer CAN turn Xbox around, it's just pretty unlikely.
