Did Microsoft totally mess up their holiday strategy?

Yes, COD is absolute garbage. But what does that matter. Millions still play it, and now Sony has the ballg ame. Very dumb move to let go of that, whether what I or you think of it or not. 

 

As for the greatest games lineup, it could just be used for 2015 and 2016, why not? People can say whatever they like, but the XB1 has a very comparable lineup to the PS4 for 2016, so it won't be a big deal (usually people say Sony absolutely dominate's).

But Microsoft made a big mistake cutting the third party deals. I don't know how Microsoft is going to find a new way to make up for lost sales.

I think Xbox One sales are just fine. There's no need to be at PS4 levels. And I think Microsoft is not caring that much about losing to Sony. About COD: yes, dumb move. Terrible.

 

But Microsoft should certainly worry on how this will affect them in the next generation. Look, the EU, japan, Asia, fine. These markets can't be won, but NA is the place where Xbox has to win, no matter how small of a win. Its perception, and how well the Xbox will do these next few years.
