XBox Entertainment Studios had a short life. It was announced only a year ago, but design decisions led to poor reviews. Among its weaknesses, the software was bloated and slow, and Microsoft not only hobbled it with DDR3 memory but also needlessly restricted the games to using only 6 of the 8 cores.
You're mixing up the XBone and the studios here...

Ah, I was wondering why the author's note had nothing to do with the article.

Yep, the studio they closed is the one that was working on their TV content. This will not affect the games.

And while we're at it, Microsoft CEO's name is Nadella ...

I didn't use his name in the original title or my summery, I cheaped out with Microsoft announced: followed by the blockquote.

Righto. Nadella's name error is 100% editor-fail. You are entitled to a full refund! All your bytes back!
