Sure, but doesn't mean the XBOX division can get as much money as they want. Microsoft has done that in the past, but I believe they are at a point where XBOX have to prove that they can be profitable on their own to stay relevant in the Microsoft family. I actually think they hang on a pretty thin thread right now. Everything seems moving towards making the XBOX brand nothing more than a service included into their Windows business. |
There could be something to that. Shannon Loftis said that they're pursuing games that have a social aspect to them, as opposed to dumping millions into new AAA IPs. Not saying they won't keep making that kind of game, but that's why it's really important for MS to have the game to themselves right now. Maybe Xbox will evolve into a living room Steam-type platform.
