Their gaming market is so huge , why would they leave the gaming market if their OS/Application market died? (if it died that is). If Sony left the gaming market, it would be a huge win for Microsoft unless Nintendo scoops up all the juicy third party support from Japan and relive the SNES days (and improve their hardware to the point where it would match the competition).

Not sure if it was clear from what I said, but I meant that they would only consider leaving if one of those conditions were met, not that they definitely would leave.

 

My point was, xbox could be bleeding money and MS would keep it alive, as long as they have the money, and Sony is still threatening MS's dominance. If Sony is removed as a threat, then MS will stay if it is profitable to stay, and leave otherwise. You are right that, with Sony gone, it likely would be profitable, so they would likely stay.
