 They also have some tough competition and not just from Microsoft, 

I'd hardly call Xbox One "tough competition". Sony won this generation pretty much by default after MS and Ninty shot themselves in the foot too badly to pose a threat.


YEa MS's PR should have already known this was a bad Idea. I didn't have a issue but then I'm not the Majority of the people.  I'm not sure how they could have not seen this coming, I would have been running many poll tests with the public before releasing something so Confrontational. How many controllers did they make and poll test? This should have been routine. So that is exactly what they did, They shot them selfs in the foot, specifically with Europe.  I'm xbox fan and I couldn't believe how bad that they blew it.

However Phil Spencer is a gamer, he gets it and they should have listened to him from the start. I bet he was the Naysayer in the discussions leading up to the release. So I'm glad the right man got the job....

 

@ OP This is smart business right here.  Not counting your chickens until they hatch, I'm sure their growth will be higher but in the long run being conservative I think is key.
