I fin . d it funny people want Xbox gone, but the fact is Xbox is here to stay. They are making a lot of money over the years from Xbox (about 16% of their total revenue). Microsoft has made some huge investments to push xbox. Minecraft, Simplygon, Havok, Gears of war IP and more to come. If Microsoft keeps investing and succeeding the way they are they will be here for the long run.

I thought they've lost more money than they have gained thus far. I may be wrong as I am not fully informed on the situation. But I did find this : http://learnbonds.com/122889/microsoft-corporation-msft-loses-money-on-xbox-one-sales/

 

Anyhow, I hope they don't leave the console market as I love Xbox. Though I haven't been showing my Xbox One much love lately, all that will change when Scorpio arrives. Looking forward to the console no matter what others may think. 

Sony and Microsoft don't make money/not a lot of money of off console sales. They make their money on xbox live, third party game royalties, controllers and acessories, video games,ect.
