Don Mattrick was unironically ahead of his time, in a twisted way. A lot of the shit people hated about the Xbone (Kinect always watching you, always-online DRM, no used games, focus on TV) are things people don’t really care about today (everyone knows the government spies on them and they don’t give a shit, most people have internet, everyone buys digital, and just replace “TV” with “streaming service”). If they’d treated the Xbone like an Xbox upgrade + Kinect, and put all that spyware shit in the generation after, they wouldn’t even get 10% of the backlash that they did in this timeline.
