@khalidabuhakmeh for me buying any console is a horrible investment. I don't use them

@range_marten I love my PlayStation if only for the indie titles.

@khalidabuhakmeh ah don't get me started on this.
I think the downfall started way back with the release of the Xbox one. The price point with Kinect was too high. And the one hub vision for TV, games and telecommunications was poorly executed.

This eventually participated in the downfall of Skype, which had market dominance at the time.
Coupled with lack of investments in the OS and the application marketplace... (It's not like the same thing happened with windows phone at the time...)

@khalidabuhakmeh so after sticking with a dumb TV hooked to an Xbox for over a decade, I finally cracked for a Google TV. I'm not super happy about it but at least I have all the apps.

I really hope they take this opportunity to turn around and introduce a Microsoft version of the chrome cast, with the Google Play store, and a kick ass cloud gaming application + a controller for under 100usd.

The Xbox OS and application story is beyond recovery IMHO, and that's sad.
