A while ago I saw someone respond a thread about "what do you expect from the upcoming Xbox console" (Or I think that was the topic, dont remember well) with something in the lines of "If it fails, I'd be very happy if Microsoft/Xbox retires from the gaming industry altogether and their IP are distributed between Sony and Nintendo" and someone called him out for posting a "hit and go" comment (or something of the sort, I dont recall the exact wording, its something ive only read about in this forum) I wouldnt presume to know what that person's intentions were, but that comment stuck with me because that is literally the same sentiment I have, I too would be very happy if - in the scenario that XboxX fails - Microsoft/Xbox retires from the gaming industry altogether and their IP are distributed between Sony and Nintendo. And he got called out for saying it and that felt weird. Its not something I'd say casually to trigger a reaction or with any mean or "destructive" intent. It is my genuine opinion. It is a scenario that would please me, however drastic, fictional or unrealistic.
My point being, "I think some Xbox fans just take things too personal." is a valid concern. You are right, if the Xbox was in a different market position, the reception here would probably be stronger, but since they are not, its very hard or even unavoidable to have those kind of conversations.

Agreed. Xbox fans need to get a thicker skin. But to be fair in regards to the rest of your post, Microsoft is already moving in the right direction by putting their games on Switch, so it's not mandatory that their Xbox crashes and burns in order for them to do the right thing and put their games on hardware that people actually want to play games on.
Once they discount Ori and the Blind Forest by 50% on Switch, they will have won me as a customer.

Until you finish it, realize there's a sequel that isn't on Switch, and they lose you again as a customer.
