Maybe... a partnership with Nintendo for the Switch successor?.............

That would be freaking hilarious xD

But will never happen.

In my opinion, looking at their ACTIONS (not their words, their ACTIONS), all indicators are that Microsoft has one foot out the door.  If the Xbox One X fails to achieve their goals, I would not be at all shocked if they step out of the console industry.  The Xbox brand will remain probably become a gaming PC line or a platform like Steam.  But Xbox consoles would be dead.

Yeah, basically this.Their actions lately(read last 2 years) has been of branching out, and even giving up of the console business and being more of a platform holder.I expect them to try to double down on the Windows Store as a Steam substitute and their first party offerings become third party, with releases on whatever is left of Xbox and Steam and Windows Store(Yes, Im expecting games such as Halo and Gears to go to Steam)
