Spot on. Mark my words unless there is a seismic change in the console landscape to turn things around for them the Xbox One will be the last Xbox released under MS.
I don't think we'll see consoles just go away anytime soon. I think there are enough people devoted to games to create reasonable demand and I think the console makers have done a good enough job of making them valuable beyond simply playing games. But I still don't think the market is large enough to support three major consoles.
In my opinion the perfect scenario for the console market would be MS dumping the Xbox division onto one of the existing console makers or dissolving the hardware portion and just making games for the other consoles. If they just sell it off to another company like Amazon or Apple we just end up in the same situation of a market that is competing itself into the ground.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
