    "excerpt": "At least somebody is happy with the state of Xbox. With Xbox now 75% through an urgent restructuring plan that has seen thousands laid off , many games canceled, and several studios severed or consolidated, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says the \"streamlining\" going on is \"great to see.\" Asked about the state and future of Xbox on Sources Podcast by Alex Heath, Nadella says \"I feel fantastic about the IP we have right now. If I look at the studios, the IP portfolio we have, and our ability to then take that and produce great games going forward, I feel fantastic.\" This has been the story with Xbox for years, especially after a string of high-profile business acquisitions. It's hard not to feel good about IP and production with the likes of Minecraft in your corner, or with the entire Activision Blizzard fleet – well, the people who weren't laid off – behind you. But how is Xbox doing ? \"There's some amount of streamlining the team is doing, and Asha is doing, which is great to see,\" Nadella observes, tipping his hat to new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. Which is just an incredible way to describe the dismantling of longstanding studios , the uprooting of thousands of lives, and the ongoing closure of creative powerhouses that were generally doing just fine before Microsoft bought them. What's next for Xbox? With these \"fantastic\" IP, and after all this \"great\" streamlining, what then?...",
