That tweet is from just a year ago, but somehow feels like it is from generations ago. On topic, Phil Spencer is synonimous with Xbox right now, if they fire him they're dooming the brand, but that doesn't mean that keeping him will make the brand the success they're aiming to.
And from Kotaku (yeah, I'm shocked I'm citing them too, but damn it, they did good... THIS TIME).

This is WHY I protested the merger. Buyouts like this are a cost of jobs. And with the state of the industry, with corrupt CEOs and investors running rampant, I'll repeat: NUKE THIS INDUSTRY!
I see a lot of shots at Phil over today's Xbox announcements. I get it. But knowing him as a human, I know this hurts him as much as anyone else. I can't speak for all of the leadership there, but I do know him and I do know what he is likely going through.
