The title should be changed to Microsoft is killing it in all businesses except for Xbox gaming, IMHO.
Edit: I meant on HN, since the guidelines say: "please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait"
- tehabe 7y agoIf that would be the headline, there would be no reason at all to click on the story.
- hpen 7y agoExcept if you're actually interested in the story?
- frereubu 7y agoIf you're interested in the details, surely telling people that Xbox is the one which isn't "killing it" isn't going to stop them clicking on the link?
- mc32 7y agoI think I’d agree with you if it were an offline medium like a magazine or newspaper, or an online subscription where they’ve already captured revenue and it doesn’t matter if you follow through reading or not. But if it’s ad-based then I think a bit of a tease is okay. This isn’t classical click bait. I think it’s okay.

- gumby 7y agoIIMHO if the title tells you everything about the story, it's not much of a story. In this case there was a lot in the story but not stuff I cared about so the title would have sufficed. I really hate clicking on a title and reading what amounts to a single-sentence article padded out.
- Traster 7y agoAnd for those out of the loop, Microsoft announced a new Xbox at E3 this year, making this quite clearly the quiet-period before a new product release.
- rolltiide 7y agoHas it not been clear this whole decade that Sony has been killing it on the console gaming front? The exclusives alone.....
