Wow. Halo came out a few days ago and PS4 consoles are dominating. In the US none the less.

This feels like the nail in the coffin. If Halo cant turn it around nothing can.

Turn around from what? Not keeping up with the PS4? Or not making money? I know they are making money on the Xbox Brand, so you must mean the data point of not keeping up on sales of systems. So no nail in the coffin that I see, just different sales. Mazda is still around but gets outsold by toyota every year. :P

Except at least until now MS has been open about wanting to be the number 1 console in the USA. Not just Xbox fans but MS itself. So yes MS does want to turn things around and become the Toyota of the USA and not Mazda. There is also no certainty that Xbox brand is profitable, because there are a numbe of other revenue streams in that division and MS does not break the financials down any further to say what revenue streams are profiting. MS can afford for Xb one to take modest losses because that company is virtually immune to making over all losses.
