I wish MS never entered the game business. It hurt Nintendo by basically splitting the market for no.2 behind PS2 and Nintendo never really recovered properly from that in the dedicated home console space. Wii-era was just a unsustainable fad run not a long term solution.
But the XBox One brand is a virtual lock to sell 40 million now, perhaps even 50+ million ... that's just too many systems for MS to not allow one more kick at the can at least.
Virtually any game hardware that sells 32+ million in this business is going to get a successive piece of hardware. If Dreamcast had sold 40 million units, there would've been a Dreamcast 2 for sure, if 3DO sold 30+ million there for sure would've been 3DO successors, etc. etc.
