I think MS fired or forced out most of the people who created and loved the xbox/live and gave the xbox 1 to people who were good corporate players who toted the new One Microsoft plan that has windows 8 and the new windows phone doing so well. they decided this console would be their profit taker.
where as the prior teams knew what it took and worked in the community they managed to build a following by working outside the microsoft mainstream in an area MS really wanted access too, despite failures of the team with the XB gpu deal, and the RRD, the built a loved brand and a community that MS could make inroads into the living room with permanently if handled well (see all the crap with xbox branding now)
now in about 6 months they have destroyed most of their image and good will … not all of it, but a good portion
ill also note while not top top of the line compared to pus on the market when launched the 360s gpu was very close to the top of the line and gnu released just two months before the 360 came out and the XB1 had comparatively good gnu… the xb1 is about a midrange gpu from a year ago, and should move down to a lower midrange when the next and gpus come out in about a month. too bad i was really looking fwd to pushing 4k/8k … i ended up moving from sd to hd due to the 360, guess there is no need this gen

to sumerize the original XB team who fathered it were told to make inroads no matter the cost and built the XB and 360, the new team was told to make money off our investment and broden its target group. the new team may have destroyed the brand or at least a large chunk of good will it had
