They are obviously trimming A mod on GAF wrote this. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=197790035&postcount=1348 Frankly with their continued move to make more PC games (including Forza 6 now), along with their push away from having Xbox One be a traditional console. It seems likely that MS is truly moving away from the Xbox One as a platform, and instead focusing on making money.

That was a really good post, thanks for linking that.
Yep That Neogaf mod just stateing facts, sure does make it seem like MS is trimming down.
For thats goes TL:DR: Heres the short of it:
"Microsoft does not see themselves as a hardware platform owner anymore. As a result, their interest in developing games is no longer about establishing a diverse portfolio (even at a loss), but instead about just publishing games only if they make reliable money with no risk."
"If you were going to transition away from the hardware model but still wanted to publish the odd game and didn't want to shut down the division at all, this is exactly what you'd do."
"Besides these franchises, almost all of Microsoft's first-party partners are now working on Hololens, and it's not clear that Hololens is going to be a consumer focused gaming product during the Xbox One's lifespan."
1) MS are moveing away from hardware. Next Console they sell could just be a PC, where they ask you to use the windows store, and sell you a controller.
2) MS games could go multi plat (halo ect) (why not? if they dont care about selling you hardware, why not make profits selling the game)
3) Yep, if your focus was really on here & now, building franchises ect should be done, instead everyone is focusing on something not ment for console gameing, a product many years from ready. Why? it doesnt make sense, unless you want out of hardware.
Anyways... SteamBox PC aka Xbox Two, will just be a liveing room windows PC with a controller.
