Anyone believe or hope Microsoft will leave the videogame business?

No, though I'm done paying for Live, so I don't see myself using their consoles in the future, but I see no reason for them to stop.

Just because you don`t want to use Xbox Live anymore doesn`t mean your system is suddenly unusable you know. Just curious but is roughly $4 a month too much for you for superior online gaming(better matchmaking, more secure networking, more community related features, daily updates in the Inside Xbox channel, very well streamlined, deals of the week, week early demo access etc.)?  Thats like paying for one freshly made burger per month. If it is too much for you thats fine. Just don`t talk like not having Live like its the end of th world as far as Xbox goes. You can still enjoy a plethora of single player experiences or split screen multiplayer.

Paying for advanced optional features, if one wants them, could be totally fine, what many people don't accept is having to pay for basic multiplayer features that are free on the other consoles and on PCs.

Perhaps thats what I like about it. I mean I pay for Xbox Live yet I very rarely play online. I use many of the other Live features on a daily basis though.
