I'm fully convinced Microsoft wants to kill the Xbox brand. Raising the dev kits from $1500 to $2000 is going to result in less developers getting their hands on a dev kit, which becomes more difficult to develop high-quality games.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics
