"An observation post Xbox One launch. I have been in the Xbox ecosystem for XX years. From the Duke controller to Halo JSRF and beta testing Xbox Live. I came up in a community that demanded better. We pushed for innovation called out missteps. And not because we hated it but because we believed in what it could be. We didnt hang our hats on every word or soundbite that leadership shot out. We applied critical thought and questioned leadership when the dots didn't connect. Fast forward to now and too many creators and fans treat criticism like betrayal. Every decision gets spun every stumble"

"This is a bit of a false equivalency. Xbox has built its brand on backwards compatibility and ecosystem continuity "play anywhere" "your library travels with you" and all of that. So when they do not fully execute on that promise its fair to call it out. Meanwhile Nintendo and PlayStation have never made that kind of commitment. Nintendo reinvents its hardware every gen and Sonys been lukewarm on legacy support for years. If youre going to market Xbox as the platform where your digital library lives forever then yes people expect it to actually live forever"
