Is this the beginning of the end for Microsoft consumer based hardware?

[malistix1985]

Surface hardware is very popular and Xbox is making a profit, Lumia was unsuccessful, they continued, it was still unsuccessful, they bought it and continued... it was still unsuccessful.

Very different :D. Also, it was to push a unsuccessful piece of software (Microsoft mobile software) and the Xbox and surface push Windows, and lets be honest, with no Windows, there isn't much Microsoft.
