I agree, if Xbox 3 doesn't become the success they want, it could be the end. MS will probably shift all their focus on desktops and tablets because those are existential problems. |
The Nintendo is the only one left? What makes you think that the next XBox will do badly and the next Playstation do well? I see if Microsoft pulls out, it likely means Sony does also, and 2 out of 3 console makers pulling out, is bordering on "crash" level, of the early 1980s. It is NOT a good thing.

When did I say it would do badly? Look at the turnaround of the different services MS offers, their game business is insignficant to what other things they offer in terms of revenue. If xbox doesn't become what they hope to be (nr1 in the game industry), they could pull the plug. MS is in to win it, they don't want to be stuck in the 2nd/3rd place forever.

if one looks at the past years there is something that became very useful - accounts, user-data. looking at the awesome xbl-stats i doubt ms will drop xbox. and what means forever? x360 was their second attempt which is far more successful than "experts" in this forum or any other "analyst" ever expected, fact. the console is making profit, game-sales are high, xbl is a huge success.
last gen they were third, this gen second for a long time and still competing quite good for the oldest console this gen. i don't see that ms will drop the xbox-idea.
