Already in 2009, Microsoft was reporting the Zune profits were tumbling (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Zune-Microsoft-Earnings,news-3355.html). Things didn't really pick up for the Zune from that point on either and with the rise of smartphones (which many use to listen to music), I'm pretty sure the decision to discontinue the product had everything to do with Zune not being profitable anymore or being headed in that direction.

The situation with consoles is much different.

Yes, I conceded that point to Dirty. I didn't stop Microsoft from burning through cash reserves to keep it going.

Wasn't your original point that Microsoft tends to abandon projects where they can't dominate?
