according to them its still a thing

Last month, @XboxP3 told me "we will get to retail-to-devkits" plan for Xbox One. "We're committed to it."

I think most people forgot/didn't care about this. Not a big loss.

Well, this wouldn't be the first time that a MS executive makes a statement, which then needs to get retracted by 3 other executives. There still seems to exist a discrepancy between various departments, so anything is possible.

ya what im thinking is that fuller ment was that they its not coming yet not that it was cancelled but guess well have to wait and see

Wow. Someone is awfully defensive about something that no one gives a fuck about ;)

WFT is this the 13th 180 or what now?!

Probably not a big deal...however another 180 for MS is more bad press. something they still haven't managed to fix entirely yet.

Not a surprising move. And God damn, feathers have been ruffled. Tagged to see where this is heading next.

I agree with this.  This is not the first time communication between MS different groups were not on the same page.  Best to ping Phil for the definitive answer.

It's even more like a PS4 now.
