The lack of vision is a potential downfall for MS because it impacts what direction their platforms will go and right now I can't think of anything outside of Crackdown that's left to push the X1 and this could have a knock on effect if the is no stable direction set for their platforms, if you have no direction you'll struggle to attract consumers. The entire first party offering for MS has gone backwards while their competitors have have pulled further ahead in that department and their habit of contracting third parties to develop exclusive content has shown this gen to have been disastrous with the amount of cancellations.
They need to start by going back to the drawing board and rebuild their first party teams.
