Microsoft Promotes (Hilariously BAD!) Halo 5 on UFC 192

Im noticing that the lazyness is just too evident and not charasteristic from MS, much less on this holidays when their biggest game is coming out and this is probably their last chance to take the US market. Its so strange, they should go balls to the wall but instead we are getting this phony Twitter charade.

 

Are they trolling us?

I'm forced to ask myself, what does MS gain by losing the console war in the US? It's an odd question but I believe there's something we're missing at the moment. I'm not going to suggest they want the XB1 brand dead so they can focus on PC but I'm not going to discount that idea either. Let me put it this way: How would fans respond to MS saying 'We're sorry to announce that we're no longer participating in the console business' V 'We tried our hardest but unfortunately because of cercumstances beyond our control, we've had to close the XB division.' Which would make it easier to swollow for their console fans?

All the moves we've seen so far seem to indicate that they want to lose. The ONLY alternative is perhaps the budget has been cut and they can now only afford to promote the XB1 division for the last two months of the year. Google Stephen Elop and then consider what I've said.
