Our Take
While some of the Xbox leadership, Phil Spencer in particular, have owned the mistakes made by Microsoft’s team back in 2013, it’s nice to see the larger group speaking out about it.

With Scorpio on the horizon, and knowing they are far behind Sony’s PS4 in overall sales, this mindset is more important than ever to the Xbox brand.
