Microsoft approached the XB1 with the same monopolistic attitude and mindset that it treats customers and vendors in the desktop computing market. They don't negotiate. They dictate terms, and then look at you like, "Too bad. WTF are you going to go?" They tried to treat XB1 customers and software developers the same way, figuring that they had no other viable option but to tolerate whatever MS chose to do...... ....only to find out that both of them actually DID have a viable option and somewhere else to go. Which is why MS is set to announce a big, powerful, shiny new box.....but with no new games to play on it. ....while they're getting their heads caved in with respect to marketshare and sales.
