I have the good fortune of being able to cover console launches before, during, and after their release, which gives me plenty of time to study trends. Seeing Microsoft riding high off of the Xbox 360, clawing at Sony after their big Xbox versus PS2 battle, was something else -- as was the blowback from the Xbox One's draconian DRM stance.
They're still licking their wounds over that, but they've bounced back when it comes to console features. As a result of being in second (and possibly third if the Switch keeps it up), they've given us backward compatibility for both Xbox and Xbox 360 titles and PC/Xbox One cross-buy, among a number of other small adjustments that beat Sony to the punch (like external hard-drive support, which Sony eventually acquiesced).
It's been a rough generation for Microsoft, but the Xbox One X delivers. As long as you have a 4K TV.
