## Resource

Xbox is talking about a much bigger future: more games, more ways to play, FanFest, Hollywood adaptations, and major franchises like Minecraft, Fallout, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Halo, Blade, and The Elder Scrolls.But that future is coming at a very difficult time. Hardware sales are struggling, console prices are rising, studios are reportedly bracing for layoffs or restructuring, and Xbox leadership has already warned that sacrifices may be coming.So I wanted to look at the recent Entertainment Weekly Xbox at 25 piece with fresh eyes and talk about where Xbox says it wants to go, what may happen over the next 100 days, and whether this strategy actually solves the biggest problems facing the brand.
