Where is Microsoft headed from here on out?

I don't know, but I know they're not leaving. As long as MS makes billions, they'll keep Xbox around as a pet project even if it's not profitable. I have a feeling the next console is going to be REALLY interesting. Watching MS mobilize around Xbox this gen has been eye-opening at the lengths they'll go to keep the brand relevant. If they haven't pulled away from markets like Japan, then it means they still have ideas in store.

This isn't like Windows Phone, where they're up against competitors as huge as they are, that they can't really outspend them to get leeway in the market. Gaming is different. Nintendo and Sony are smaller in comparison and bowing out against them could be seen as a high-profile loss. Xbox will be here, doing what they do.

But they dont Outspend Sony either.

Just because Microsoft swims in money doesn't mean that the Xbox Team has a blank check to do whatever they want.

It appears to me that Xbox has less budget than with the X360, at least that is what i feel about this gen.

It's like they are existing, kinda doing their thing but nothing more.

This has been my least favorite gen of any other Xbox console. By far.
