Where is Microsoft headed from here on out?

...by releasing a brand new Xbox model in 2017 and spending god knows how much money advertising it? That doesn't sound like something a company would do if they were trying to phase out a brand.

They're already putting all their games on Windows and now there are plans to possibly port them to iOS, Android, and even the PS4.

The Xbox One barely has any software support. There seems to be more enthusiasm for backwards compatibility (which would've been great... in 2014) than new games coming out.

That still doesn't explain why they should spend god knows how much on R&D to make Xbox X, launch it and then another gob of money on advertising. Why do that if you're just getting out of console gaming? It makes little sense.
