You mean two revisions of the same console.  The S was going to happen no matter what.  Well, unless the XBO had only sold like 5M.  Why?  Because it's a cost cutting measure by MS.  The S is cheaper to produce and ship.

As for the Scorpio, as I said before, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pushed as a Windows VR gaming box when it finally launches.  We'll see later this year.  All I know is given all of the steps MS has taken to slowly step away from Xbox, including spending less and less on it, if Scorpio isn't a hit, MS is going to reconsider keeping it around.  If the founder and 2nd largest shareholder is okay spinning it off, I doubt many involved would have too much of a problem with it, either.

I mean exactly what I said, two new consoles. You can try to spin it however you want to minimize it, my point wins either way. A "smooth transition" off of consoles does not mean release two new Xbox consoles, lol.

Seems they're making Xbox bigger than ever, not stepping away from it. Integrating it with Windows, and making the most powerful console ever. If they want to ease off consoles and push people towards PC, they're doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing. Maybe you guys are just wrong?

I already corrected you on that Bill Gates stuff you're referencing. He said he'd be ok with whatever decisions Nadella makes, including spinning off the Xbox division. It was a complete vote of confidence for their new CEO that you're trying to twist into something else. It's funny to see, but when you need to stoop to such levels, should probably just stop trying to make that point.

I'd say it's more like they are shifting to Windows gaming, leveraging their Xbox fans to do, rather than pumping Xbox in a larger thing. You don't spend less and less money on something you're growing larger.

Funny, I only remember him specifically speaking of Xbox. They must have more things less successful and less known than the Xbox brand. Wonder why he picked that one? Hmm.
