Au contraire. Without Alasdair Becket-King, Xbox as a brand is toast. Pain grillé even.

I believe it means exactly what he said. While the deal is important, its not critical to Xbox success. I agree with his point. While I am sure it would be great to get very solid exclusives and COD, from ABK/Blizzz I believe MS has already some solid studios and exclusives not to mention their wiliness to continue their portfolio.
