Has Microsoft given up? do they have any fight left in them?

They're releasing a new console. I'm sure games will come. I think they'll show out at Gamescom and E3 2018 with new IP and VR. This was not the time for all that imo. Launch the console, show investment into more diverse games and original ideas, and grow the brand beyond Halo and Gears. I think Microsoft succeeded, and honestly, I was very glad to see way less shooters and more games with innovative gameplay. Indies or not, i think Microsoft succeeded on those fronts and did something completely unexpected.

I agree with this.  MS cannot change the narative with this current gen.  What they can do is build to the future.  The price of the OneX says it all.  MS is not looking to bleed money in a effort to gain some small market share against Sony right now because right now their lead is just to large.  It would take Sony to make some really bone headed moves and even then their lead is just to wide.  The tone I got from the conference is that we are making a diverse console that plays old and new games.  They are playing to their base and keeping themselves in the green.
