| curl-6 said: Yeah I was gonna say the UK is sort of like a mini USA in terms of their gaming tastes (though less keen on Ninty than the yanks) so Xbox having just 13% marketshare there is dire. As someone who had an original Xbox back in the day, it's sad seeing the brand on its deathbed, even if its understandable after how horrendously Microsoft have handled the brand for the last 12 years. Not even 90s Sega was this hellbent on self-destruction. |
The issues go back further than 12 years. Though I guess it became obvious when they revealed the Xbox One. I can only imagine how different things would be if the Xbox One launched a year earlier in 2012 without Kinect for $399 and Halo 4 as a cross-gen launch title.
