<ArmchairExecutive> Personally, I think Microsoft should have put way more effort into polishing their Kinect user experience. The X-bone could have been everything that the Echo/Siri/Google Home ecosystems evolved into if Microsoft had just worked harder on polish up front.

Instead, Microsoft pretty much alienated their core gaming base in order to half-assedly fail at a broader goal. They didn't even manage to push through more than a couple of decent Kinect v2 games </ArmchairExecutive>
