Microsoft has been messing up the stewardship of their platform, the games on it and the studios that make them for a long time. Not just with the early Xbox one. Halo's fall from grace as an IP, for instance, cannot in any way be blamed on anyone other than Microsoft, at multiple times and with multiple bad decisions. It's not due to one bad big screwup with the Xbox one; it's an ever-continuing quality problem with Microsoft.
