This is Microsoft unofficially abandoning Xbox hardware, even if they technically release a "next gen" console. You can already play every XB1 "exclusive" on the PC which is a disincentive to getting an XB1. Now there is really no incentive to get their hardware. Just pick the hardware you like the best instead.

Microsoft end game is a service available everywhere. Basically an APP Like Netflix or youtube you can download on anything but Xbox is becoming more and more irrelevant like that.

 

Adding the ability to get achievements, friend lists, stats on already existing iOS/android games means end of the Xbox hardware...?

At least read the OP guys....

 

Edit: Its even in the title lol.

Quoting from the article:

"Xbox Live features like achievements, Gamerscore, hero stats, friend lists, clubs, and even some family settings will all be available on iOS and Android.

It’s all part of a bigger push from Microsoft to make its Xbox games and services available across multiple platforms."

You are on the right track, but you need to read the next sentence.  This is part of a bigger push to make Xbox games and services available on as many platforms as possible.
