Oh god. If this is true, what a disaster. Games as service is such a monumentally dumb idea.

I hate to pile on, because it's fashionable to hate on Microsoft, but it really seems like the Xbox division has no idea what it's doing.

Even if they ever sort themselves out, this will be the gen where Xbox will never catch a break, anything good that would ever come out of that system will just be stamped on by the negative, even from the past going forward.

I don't know. I imagine most people - outside of the most diehard Sony loyalists - want Xbox to succeed. More competition is always good.

Personally, I have a lot invested in Xbox. I own an Xbox, X360, and XOne, so I want the ecosystem to deliver. I love Halo and Fable and Gears of War and want to see those properties flourish. I have fond memories of Banjo and Perfect Dark and Conker and hate seeing those series collect dust.

Right now, though, it seems like Microsoft has one foot out the door in terms of Xbox, which doesn't inspire confidence.
