I'm really starting to think it's far too late for the Xbox brand.  I wouldn't be surprised if the the Xbox division is the running joke of the entire company.

With the money Microsoft has its not too late for them. If they were any other company though, Microsoft would have to be forced to work on their first party sooner and in a more desperate fashion. the fact that they have the money to weather the lashings of their competitors is what makes them lazier and have more patience about the lack of first party.  Their most hardcore of fans dont demand more from them like Sony and Nintendo fans do after being accustomed to higher quality offerings.

Well I said too late in the sense that Xbox has never made them any money.  The first two consoles were alright for consumer relations but the Xbox One has been a money sink AND a PR abomination.  Of course, they could keep dumping money in a red-returns-only product but it just doesn't make sense to this not a business man.
