"there will be limited change for the Surface, Xbox hardware, PPI/meetings or next generation teams."

Ok guys? Thread paranoia debunked. Move on.

Them saying hardware specifically actually just opens up a ton of more speculation.  

Actually they confirmed that the Xbox TV division is beign closed. No biggie as far as gamers are concerned. And the Halo projects are still on.

It may not just be the TV side of it though.

This may be the end of the MS gravy train to third parties for exclusive content etc and other money-hatting deals.
