He thinks it is predictable 2 years after the fact, should start helping fight crimes with those kinds of psychic powers.

I mean, it's not like he was the guy in charge when the console was revealed. Also, the only people who thought the XBOne's original vision was a good idea were forum idiots and MS.

Everybody outside of that group saw that train wreck coming a mile away. It'd be different if this was Don Mattrick saying "yea, that was preventable", but the guy who had nothing to do with XBOne and wasn't anywhere near the company when it was revealed? I'd bet a good wager that he was in that 99.9% group that said "DRM, forced Kinect, no used games, etc. is bad"

The all in one vision was a good idea but DRm and such was not and forcing kinect was a bad idea, its a good piece of hardware but it cost them sales.
