Summary Last week, I finally bit the bullet and pawned myXbox Series X. I had it for a couple of years, but it became nothing more than a glorified, expensive Blu-ray player. I wouldn’t normally bother announcing this to the world, but after months of writing news headlines that are variations of ‘Microsoft craps the bed’, this growing apathy to Xbox is worth discussing. Let’s look back to the very start of the year....
