Riiiiiight. Probably strong-armed out of there because of all the negative stuff with the Xbox One.
I was an early adopter of the original Xbox in 2002. Bought an Xbox 360 on launch day. Have been on Xbox Live for 10 years. Now, unfortunately with all the theatrics and garbage put up by the Xbox One team, I'm sad to say that I'll be done with Microsoft in the upcoming generation. My Xbox Live expires at the end of next April and I will not be renewing. I have 10 more months ill be playing my Xbox 360, then ill be on to Sony and the PS4.
The Who's Who at Microsoft know they've botched this. You'll get people willing to spend $500 on a console, but not the majority. They priced lower last generation, started a year early, and still lost the sales battle. Only thing to do now is jump ship like Don is and get out before it sinks!

I feel kind of sorry for him honestly, because he must have received a ton of abuse from idiots that think all of the mistakes were his fault, but why the hell go downhill by heading to Zynga?
