The fewer XBox's MS sells, the better for the company as a whole.

How so?

My comment is really just poorly communicated sarcasm.  Any rumors about NextBox have 0 impact on MS share price.  But if we took my comment serious for a moment, XBox has been nothing but a money suck for MS financially for over a decade now.  It has a benifitial role for MS - keeping living room Windows competitors at bay - but as its own entity it doesn't make money.  If 'XBox' was a company, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Well goodbye MS and Sony then.   We would only have Nintendo left :(.  Anyway Xbox 360 was not in the end protiftable?
