I hope Microsoft makes some smart decisions with this reorganization. They've been in such a difficult situation since the announcement of the Xbox One. Let's hope this shuffle will help them refocus their efforts and their vision for the future hardware.

Let's face it, ever since Bill Gates left MS, they've had nothing buy a "me too" mentality about everything they've done. When was the last time MS actually did something without actually chasing the market of another company? Whether it's windows phones that are poorly trying to catch up to the android and iOS markets, or the Zune that terribly failed trying to catch up to the ipod market... Or how about windows8 that is so desperately trying to get a share out of Macintosh users... Or Bing that is a horrible imitation of an already established Google? What is MS's creative risk? Kinect? Because that is one pathetic piece of hardware. And when was the last time an in-house developer at MS created a new IP? Let's face it, MS is lost without Bill.

Sony FTW!!!

I'm just glad the Xbox one is free of DRM and Mandatory always online. I'm still a bit concern for the Kinect, but overall it's a fine console.

well looks like the are trying to make positive changes for games now

Microsoft has other issues to deal with besides the XBO. Windows phones still don't sell (I'm one of about a hundred people that have one), consumers tend to be unimpressed with their all-on-one Windows 8 operating system for everything, everybody hates Windows 8, and they have upcoming competition on the PC front if the stories of a Google operating system are true.

A part of would like to see Google bury both MS and Apple on the PC front. I love Chrome. I'd give their operating system a shot.

Since around 2007 Microsoft has been consistently *** over gamers. Maybe with this reorganization, they'll be able to turn it around and turn me into a believer, because as of right now, the Xbox one is still a no buy.

well this should be interesting. it seems a bit risky to shift things up so close to a major product release for them, but best of luck.

Here's the thing, the Xbox One isn't a bad system. Their marketing strategy was just terrible. They chose to highlight things they knew gamers would focus on (always on line, 24 check in) as if they were "telling us the bad news first" if they had approached it in a completely different way, they wouldn't be in this situation. It all comes down to wording, "And since you're always online..." sound much better than "You need to be online to..." Plus Mark Cerny is way more relatable than Don Mattrick. Don Mattrick comes off as that corporate stooge the 99% hates, while Mark Cerny is the gamer that designs games we all want to be.

Again if MS had just messaged their product better, they wouldn't have so many people laughing at them thus causing this situation of a re-org of their company. Like many on this board I am going with PS4, but will probably get a X1 eventually, though not at launch. The reason why, is because of the new rumor of up-clocking the GPU and adding ram makes me nervous for a new RROD.

i hope they get better with there plans they hurt me allot sine first announcement of xbox 1 because of that ps4 took giant steps on them.

They got greedy. They wanted their cake and to eat it too, And they attempted to force things down our throats for no other reason than for pure unadulterated greed. They Lied and said things were "hardwired in" which obviously by their retractions were false. They told us to do it or else, and those who didn't want to or can't were dismissed and ultimately treated like garbage and a lesser life form.

Then when they finally had no choice but to retract the heavy DRM they insulted us again and had the attitude of a pouting 8 year old who took his ball and went home. They also took away the Family sharing in a snide manner. Funny thing is Sony is allowing the very same Simple and Basic feature and Voila! Everygame downloaded on a PS4 can be played on ANY PS4 with NO charge. AS IT SHOULD BE.

M$ still Forces the obnoxious Kinect Camera down peoples throats and Like it or not MANY gamers or their Families do Not want a Camera that is *Always On* and Some do Not want a Camera at all. Call it "tin foil hats" whatever you want, still doesn't change that simple truth!

And in the End all of this was not for the betterment of the GAMES or was meant to ever benefit the GAMER. It was all in a attempt to Maximize PROFIT in hopes of adding Advertising and Tons of hidden fees and CASH GRABS. Jamming it all down the gamers throat and Well as doing everything possible to Eliminate SINGLE PLAYER in hopes of forcing people online to deal with CONSTANT Advertising and Harassment From the Many Immature Players out there.

And in the End they Wanted Everything and wouldn't give the GAMERS anything in return. Want us to buy Digital???? MAKE DIGITAL CHEAPER THAN THE DISK THAN AS IT SHOULD BE. Why am I paying 60.00 for the disk and 60 for a download????? W T F!!!???

Sony and Nintendo and even PC are giving the GAMERS what we want and deserve. Great GAMES at a fair price and the FREEDOM to play them how WE see fit! Sony, Nintendo and PC are not perfect, no one is; But they work hard to give the GAMERS VALUE!!!!

It's about Great Games and the GAMERS Period.

:) Have a good one everyone lol /End Rant

For me: it means nada. PS4 for me next-gen.
