Former PlayStation Boss to New Xbox CEO: 'Pick a Lane'

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden advised new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma to "pick a lane," calling her decision Xbox's "Dreamcast moment." He framed the choice as either competing with PlayStation as a platform or exiting hardware to focus on software as the world's biggest game publisher. Xbox is mid-restructure, with nearly 2,000 staff laid off, multiple studios exiting or facing closure, and various games canceled.
