If MS doesn't come 1st next gen or the gen after , should they pull out ?

No, the Xbox is too important for a lot of other projects

Xbox Live, Zune marketplace (pushing VoD), Windows Mobile (Live anywhere), Windows Live Messenger are all connected in a certain way to the Xbox.

Plus the Xbox brand is getting bigger and bigger with every console sold.

I think, MS is here to stay.
