It really depend on what is your business. If your business is to sell hardware (like Ninty) then you are 100% right.
On the other hand, if your business is software royalties and subscriptions then allowing 50M+ 360 users (by the time the next gen kicks in) to continue to buy the newest games and continue their subscriptions is the nest business decision you can make.
Microsoft lost many billions on HW. Restarting the bloodbath all over again is worst business decision it can make. If it can find a way to create exciting innovations for the next gen and provide an upgrade path for the 360 base to enjoy those innovations without having to obsolite the entire base, it would be in ideal spot for its business model.
