I disagree.  Cancelling games and closing studios are, presumably, actions meant to ensure they're not putting out crap games.  That's important to the long term health of the brand and ecosystem.  

That's a crappy excuse. 😹 Those weren't crap games. They were games people were interested in. MS isn't putting out many games to begin with, so cancelling any games or closing any studios capable of making games for their current gen console is retarded (meaning very foolish). Sony and Nintendo don't really cancel games for being less than satisfactory, they just stay in development longer to address any issues. That's the normal way to handle it. They can cancel any games if they wanted because they produce enough current gen games to offset it. MS needs to produce more games.

So then, what do you suppose is the reason for game cancellations and studio closures?  They just wanted to not have stuff to sell?
