THE FUSE

The “console wars” have largely been relegated to the past, and are, probably rightfully, the butt of jokes nowadays. But in a world where Xbox seems to be actively shriveling up into a husk of itself, I think there’s at least a little real nostalgia to be had for a time when it was a functional company and competitor to Sony. For one, it gave players a lot more meaningful choice in how they played games. For two, I think it’s nice that Xbox employed people.
