They shut down pandemic, which was part of BioWare. They also shut down westwood, which they paid over $100 million for.Lets not keep repeating this nonsense that Bioware is do-or-die with Anthem. We already went over this back when someone brought it up months ago. It makes zero business sense to shutter Bioware, given how much money is invested in them, how big a teams they have, and how significant they are to EAs portfolio. The chances of Anthem bombing so hard that it losses hundreds of millions of dollars are virtually nill, even if its a Destiny clone. They are of magnitudes larger than any studio EA has shuttered, and almost certain rather than being closed they would break off and find a new publisher.
There’s offering your opinion on video games then there is making business commentary. There is one that the majority of people on these boards are not qualified to offer.

Is Microsoft just gonna skip this year, orrrr?
I think that it's more apparent that Xbox, this generation anyways, is struggling with the quality and quantity of first party games for the system.
Is it truly all just petty confirmation bias?
As someone who owns an X and a Pro I don't think Xbox has had a bad generation IMO.
They definitely got off to a rocky start with the previous oblivious leadership. And they are lacking in the single player story driven exclusives.
But I'm loving my Xbox. It's what I play online with my friends and play all the 3rd party games on. And I use my Pro for the handful of games to play this generation. So far I've only played UC4, Last of Us remake, God of War, some Bloodborne and Horizon Zero Dawn.
I love my PS4 for those games specifically. To me I don't understand the mentality that you have to hate or wish the console that's not your favorite, or the one you don't own, to fail.
Like my friend who I play online with the most, he had a Pro but literally never used it. He's not a single player guy. So literally everything he plays he can play on the X. He didn't down talk or **** on Playstation because of it. He just sold his Pro because he realized he was never going to use it.

They really shot themselves in the foot with their reveal and Sony just piled on.I don’t want Microsoft or the Xbox One to fail. But everytime I turn it on there’s always a problem somewhere.

That along with the weakest exclusives lineup of the three publishers... That's a death knell for this generation.
