I'd be surprised if it was exclusive. MS have already spent ungodly amounts of securing what they have already announced, MS is still a business and one with many investors that need pleasing. :P I imagine they want to hold off a bit on the spending, seeing as at present the life time profits of the Xbox brand is still around -$5/6 billion xD (that's not including the R&D for the Xbox One and all the recent deals they have acquired. So its likely sitting at around -$8 billion right now).

Seems only Nintendo can make money on games :P 

MS/Investors don't care about what losses were made 6 - 10 years ago. As long as the division is profiting (as it has been for the last 6 years) it won't come under fire. I think MS isn't anywhere near done spending btw.

The investors do care, and they still care. Microsoft only listens to majority shareholders though.

No they don't care, the division has made $4b+ profit over the last 6 years and well over $50 billion in revenue.

Your point being? Thats a pittance compared to what Windows makes. They want 100% focus on Microsoft's bread and butter. Again, Microsoft has never really listened to them on non-windows products though, so what does it matter?
