Lets put it this way.. There more /bigger shareholders that want to split Sony than there are that want to axe Xbox division... Then you have to take into account... That as much as we want and ms too want to be first in sales... This is not the prime directive... Net profits are... And no matter how far behind MS is from Sony right now.. Xb1 is more profitable than any Xbox before it and it didn't release globally yet...
if being first was more relevant than profit apple would have pulled the plug or cut their prices half a decade ago...
ms has plenty of cards yet to play with their media hub, and even more with their entire ecosystem... So far we have seen nothing...
and finally if Zune is any example the Xbox division has still a long way to go without worry... Sure they can pull the plug... But at this point it would make absolutely no sens beside reassuring low risk taker investors....which once again are far from the majority...
