I dont know if this is going to be controversial or not, but the whole "project latitude" thing hasnt worked out at all outside of a couple of live service games.

Outside of these two titles, it failed at everything it sets out to do

The whole point was to get a quick and easy rise in numbers. It instead didnt change anything at best, and the numbers got down even more. Microsoft sacrificed their platform to catch a short term vision and they failed even at that.

Its like if i got financial problems, so i burn down my house to get the insurance money... But it gets denied. Now im as broke as before, but without an house.

That's the Xbox multiplatform strategy: the numbers went down anyway and they also almost killed their own console.

And i think the main point here is that many (MS included) forget that Xbox is *not* a third party publisher.…
