I don't see that honestly.
Before the XB1 released, everyone in the industry assumed they would win the US, and be relevant in the EU. They're losing the US, and are borderline irrelevant in the EU. Moneyhatting TR and Scalebound won't even nudge the needle.
How expensive would it be to moneyhat something that actually mattered like FIFA, COD, Madden, etc?
I actually hope the XB1 fails now. I never felt that way before, but if they feel the best use of their money is to simply pay money to keep more games away from more gamers, then yes, I hope they continue to falter, and for Xbox to die with the 8th gen. I'm actually going from a mild dislike of Xbox to a pure hatred of everything they stand for. I will celebrate every crap NPD result of theirs with glee.
