Who didnt see that shit coming? Spending that much money pretty much guaranteed that theyd never make it back without making some major cuts. Especially since theyre hardly putting out any games.

Xbox seems like it may be toast. It's being rolled into Windows somehow, it seems. The odds are decent that it's a face-saving exercise and the whole thing is being shut down slowly. Or Microsoft pulls something incredible out of the bag. The Xbox management has to be desperate at this point. We'll see whether whatever Winbox thing comes out of it sticks to the wall or not.
