Of course dude, there's a ton of similarities between last and this gen. I'd say it even more absurd that MS is getting raw dogged given they had a whole fucking generation to witness Sony's arrogance, granted they turned shit around about halfway through the gen but there was definitely enough time for them to realize this isn't the direction we should take.
Then there's the whole theory of Don Mattrick just being a Sony plant, which is quite funny in itself but it really makes you wonder how the hell they got the O.K on such terrible decision making.
I mean the theory, no one would ruin their career like that. If the Xbox One sold buckets, he's a made man. He either ends up with a higher end job at Microsoft, or he takes that success and goes somewhere else for even more money.
They misread the success of the kinect for the 360, because all things considered it clearly was a success. But they didn't take into account that devs don't have any real ideas for Kinect (the people who will make good games for it, were going to be indie devs willing to go all in on that interface and make something unique, and not franchise made for gamepad but now for kinect). My question is anyone with in the vacinity of having a clue knows that TV is on the down swing because of things like amazon, netflix, hulu, etc, and part of it is no short part because of video game machines. The 360 being the netflix box was as much a product of TV's downswing as anything, so somehow, some way, there was a Microsoft person that said, lets bet the farm on television?
On people needing a cable thing? They should have had their own netflix type service, that should have been the bet if they were going all in on this tv thing. Not we're going to be your universal remote or whatever.
