Hm, doesn't seem like Xbox hardware is selling too great.Wonder how much longer MS will stick with Xbox hardware if it continues to see sizeable declines.

You do know Xbox is the key to Xbox Live. Hardware doesnt have to break records especially when Live members are strong. Income is income they just seem to get it in a different way.

That's not how it works. On the bottom end, you have old X360 owners (and their subscriptions) leaving the market. On the front, you have new X1 owners entering the market. If your bottom end is much larger than your front, you are losing old money faster than gaining new money. If many X1/X360 owners are switching to X1X, that does not bring in any new money as well. So it probably is totally cool to have the fastest console in the world, but the bean counters might not be happy at all, and in any company the bean counters have the last word.
