I think they'll now focus on the same pattern that Google/Apple/Amazon have shown with full mobile set-top boxes that have some gaming focus. Basically, they'll change to lower spec'd machines that run an all digital Live system. Probably stream higher-end games so they can also compete with future Nintendo/Sony consoles. This is an important long-term goal for them in order to keep Windows and Office important. If they lose the living room its only a matter of time before they lose the office as well. People won't want to have different OS in their different environments. |
I can see how such a drastic change in strategy might make it more palatable to shareholders than the billions spent establishing xbox. As it currently stands I'm not sure how much xbox adds to the windows and office ecosystem.
