Destiny has had a rough time of it since its new expansion the Taken King was annoucned. From ill placed interviews showcasing a fair amount of arrogance

Last year at SDCC, Xbox had a competition to win several custom Xbox Ones. I remember, because the Sunset Overdrive variant looked particularly garish.

Call of Duty has always been seen as a Microsoft game. It was a show piece of their E3 press conferences the last few rotations, but this year was
