The only thing that saves the Xbox brand at this point might be firing the entire executive staff.
Strange that two years ago, there was worry that Xbox would take over everything after the Activision-Blizzard merger. Sony once again manages to take advantage of its competitor’s mistakes by mostly sitting and watching.

Guaranteed they’re a huge expense, and they have no interest in making cool games or experiences. It’s all just angles to dominate or manipulate the customer. Like, just give us computers that play games. Focus on running fast and effective and having cool titles. But nooooo, they want gimmicks and angles and cost-cutting and microtransactions etc etc

That was never a real concern for anyone who had been paying attention to the video game world for even the last 10 years.
Take it from the CEO bonus.
The title reads like “gimme more money”, which isn’t very far from the truth
Gotta fund that “AI” grift by any means necessary.
Imagine Microsoft’s top management was competent and leveraged their PC operating system monopoly with their dominant gaming position (ABK + Minecraft alone are massive, not even counting Bethesda and the older 1st studios).
with their dominant gaming position
If only Microsoft ever had that position. They’ve been distant third since the Switch 1 came out, distant second from day 1 of the PS4.

Wrong. You confuse the Xbox console with Microsoft’s overall position as game publisher which includes all of Activision-Blizzard-King, Bethesda, Minecraft, Halo, Forza,… across multiple platforms.
You’re confusing the word “dominant”. They’ve never been even remotely close to being dominant in gaming.
They want that short-term squeeze.
