It seems even with the vast amount of investment that has gone into the gaming division Microsoft is still unable to dominate. In addition to this there are reports of a slow but conistent decline in Microsofts core businesses. It begs the question, should Microsoft put an end to it's arguably fruitless ventures into the gaming industry or should they continue to attack a largley lucrative market which continues to see YoY growth ?? .

The goal of MS was to stop Sony from becoming the main hub in the living room. The strategy they have employed has done this (coupled with bad moves at Sony). So IMO MS sees this as a success.
