With Xbox hemorrhaging yet more employees and studios amid a "reset" plan that will see thousands cut by the end of the fiscal year, even former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden hopes Microsoft can get this train back on the rails.
Speaking with Kotaku, Layden recalls the "halcyon days" of the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, back when Sony and Microsoft were neck-and-neck like "Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier." In his view, this type of competitive relationship not only drew a lot of attention to gaming, it also benefited the industry at large by stoking improvements to both platforms.
