Not a great time to be an xbox fan.Exclusives might not sell consoles on their own, but when all things are practically equal (power, price, features, third party exclusives) it's normally the first party exclusives that get people buying consoles. First party titles matter.
MS feels like it's slowing pulling the plug on the whole thing while making sure everyone notices. If this keeps up, Xbox won't be a console, it will be a brand of MS-certified entertainment center-ready, like Steam Boxes, except with Microsoft's walled garden instead of Valve's. Somehow that seems far less appealing to me than even a steam box sounds, and it seems the target market for steam boxes is precisely no one.
