This, a general advertising campaigns and the uninspired bundles is unlike MS for this time of the year. I'm convinced they're not too bothered for some reason. Are we going to see a huge push towards PC? Is that why they've taken measures to bury XB1 figures beneath the Microsoft brand?

Im noticing that the lazyness is just too evident and not charasteristic from MS, much less on this holidays when their biggest game is coming out and this is probably their last chance to take the US market. Its so strange, they should go balls to the wall but instead we are getting this phony Twitter charade.

Are they trolling us?

Disgusting

I'm forced to ask myself, what does MS gain by losing the console war in the US? It's an odd question but I believe there's something we're missing at the moment. I'm not going to suggest they want the XB1 brand dead so they can focus on PC but I'm not going to discount that idea either. Let me put it this way: How would fans respond to MS saying 'We're sorry to announce that we're no longer participating in the console business' V 'We tried our hardest but unfortunately because of cercumstances beyond our control, we've had to close the XB division.' Which would make it easier to swollow for their console fans?

All the moves we've seen so far seem to indicate that they want to lose. The ONLY alternative is perhaps the budget has been cut and they can now only afford to promote the XB1 division for the last two months of the year. Google Stephen Elop and then consider what I've said.

Well we could see the beginning of what many thought was probably inevitable at some point.  The Xbox brand overall hasn't made money and the Xbone is hemorrhaging money.  They may be scaling back spending on it to cut out after they have slogged along for four years or so.  People always say MS is so rich they can afford losses but here's the thing:  they became that rich by only taking those losses that they believe will lead to gains or some kind of benefit.  But with Xbox 360 only reaching profitability late in the seventh gen and the Xbone - the follow up to their biggest success - getting trounced in spectacular fashion, they may be seriously questioning what benefit there is to propping up the brand.  Or they are just the developer carrying the idiot ball right now.  I mean, Sony was carrying it at the PS3 launch and Nintendo was carrying it for a good three years.  MS has carried it their fair share of times so maybe they decided to pick it up again :P

Oh my god.

That's exactly how I imagine two fish would try to kiss. Well, I guess ignorance is bliss for both of 'em.

I'm sure you and me, alike, would fap happily ever after. 

But let's keep it real here. The release of #Halo5 will make us all sweat in nervousness, like these men sweat in the ring... 10/27!

Halo 5 will do extraordinarily well. I have no doubt about that so 'sweating' would be surplus to requirement.
