Gee, I have no idea why the Xbox brand is doing so poorly and may even be spun off itself. They absorb then shut down thriving studio after studio, leaving nothing behind but fired workers and abandoned projects. It’s like a compulsion for them, does the Xbox division even talk to anyone else at Microsoft!?
