Ex-PlayStation Boss Has Some Advice For Xbox: "Pick A Lane"

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden advised Xbox CEO Asha Sharma that Xbox should "pick a lane": either compete as a platform against PlayStation or accept its role as one of the world's biggest game publishers and focus on software. He called it Xbox's "Dreamcast moment," citing Sega's exit from hardware to become a software company. Xbox has recently seen waves of layoffs, parted ways with several studios, and consolidated remaining developers under Activision, Blizzard, King, and Bethesda.
