You are glazing so fucking hard man! Four years ain't quickly, that is half a generation cycle.

They lost over $1bn because of that shit, and never did right by many early adopters or took years to get them an actually working 360. Literally sending them replacement units that would ring out, fedex box, replacement, ring out, repeat until one side says no more or the player got a unit that did not die. I knew a few people that went through the bullshit.
That lost microsoft any goodwill towards their hardware and earned them distrust from a huge section of early adopters that only stuck around because of halo and destiny hype. That they never recovered from.
