You can't tell me the 360 days weren't profitable!! All the controllers, Kinects, Xbox Live, all that stuff sold, for 11+years as the leader... The Kinect, at one point, was the fastest selling electronic ever...
Yup, the decline came when MS decided to dilute the Xbox with crap like an focus on watching TV and streaming. That's something noone wanted, and so the costumers went for the platform that actually focused on gaming - the Playstation. After this decision, which i am very sure came from execs which didn't understand their product, they have been forced to play catch up.
The Kinect was the tits and I'm still cross about how they killed it.
Old ones are still being used as a full body tracking mod for VRChat
