Phil has been running xbox for way longer and xbox game studios for even longer than that. Let’s not all blame it on one guy

True but the decisions made on Xbox One killed the brand. That E3 was a death march and they simply couldn't recover because they had committed too hard. The games weren't the death blow, it was the introduction and terrible doubling down/messaging.

They also took Ls with it being continuously online, fair or not. They had US troops coming out saying we can't use this lol.

There was always a way back after the xbox one launch, sony and nintendo demonstrated you can fukk up a launch or entire console generation and bounce back.

Xbox came back for the series consoles with no launch titles, a fukked up halo launch a year later, and then one bad publicity stunt after another. It’s just all around bad management and a horrible vision for xbox as a brand, same as all their other hardware failures
