I've been banned from a subreddit for asking an on topic question and the reason was because they considered it a stupid question. People are drawn to toxic communities because it gives them a purpose in life. :rolleyes:
Did not see this coming. Phil Spencer has done miracles for the Xbox brand but it is honestly hard to tell if he could cauterize ABK's wound from the negative publicity they have created for themselves.
Looking at prices of the X1X around $400 used. You could go with either a Series S or an X and either spend $100 less or more depending on what your needs may be so it does make sense to end production. Also, the stigma of the X1 name didn't help drive demand for it.
I haven't really had any issues with the controls but I dislike that motion controls are forced on you unless you're playing in handheld mode. I have large hands and I can't play more than 30 minutes without my hands starting to cramp. It's even worse with the Pokeball plus accessory.
