Nintendo had what I would call an excellent conference last week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2014.
Over the last few months analysts and consumers alike have realized that Nintendo has a potentially serious problem.

Ars Technica is reporting that multiple sources at Microsoft have been told of a plan to make a few adjustments to the Xbox Live Gold streaming video offerings. Most notably, popular video streaming services Netflix and Hulu may no longer require Xbox Live Gold access.
