Sure.

If they wanted they could just buy a generation. They made too many mistakes with the Xbone reveal and are still suffering for it. Who knows what happens the rest of this gen. Though it is funny to see threads like this talk about how bad Sony started and they eventually passed Xbox yet after what... 9 months this gen is done LOL.

They could pull a 360 and start next gen off early with a bad ass console.

Lol, some of you MS fans are priceless.  Always going on about MS's money, like the Xbox division has full access to it or that investors would even allow them to throw even more cash at console gaming.  The fact is MS has lost billions on Xbox.  The division is still greatly in the red, overall, which is why investors want it gone.  So, yea, they've already tried to buy gens.  Unfortuately for MS, you can't buy comsumer demand.  Same thing they should have learned with the Zune, Vista/8/Phone, Surface, and Bing.

Reading comprehension FTL. Obviously the Xbox division doesn't have full access to it or I wouldn't have said "if they wanted". Hope that helps.

And MS lost billions thanks to getting Live up and running. Not nearly the same thing as trying to "buy gens". A Playstation fan like yourself should know that. After all, did Sony try to buy last gen? Apparently so according to your logic. After all, they lost billions.


MS is not losing billions on Xbox Live. Michael Pachter said it was pure profit for a long time now. If there were any losses on Xbox Live at all its long gone. I don't see why because Xbox Live was pretty much needed heavily for you to enjoy your 360 through much of the 360 generation. MS locked everyone down beneath it. Xbox Live is a pure profit enterprise because in a generation where no one was going to make people pay for online MS did and succeeded in thrusting us into a future of paid online.
