What ever the reasons these consoles sell for doesn't change the fact that they make and lose money. The console industry is a very in-consistence industry, one gen they can be on top of the world and the next gen they are on the bottom bleeding money. Its not a stable business practice. Something MS wants to move away from and implement a more stable system for their business practices.

Exactly, Phil is doing what Don is doing which is what MS wanted in the first place, neither are bad guys and the ideas work great on paper, Steam shows that this method works extremely well, its just very hard implementing these ideas into the console industry until now.

Nintendo have been pretty consistent though, and most 3rd parties as well. Sony have lost money only on PS3 and we don`t have any evidence that MS had any console that truly profited so not sure where you are getting this inconsistence out of.

Still we got several fans talking that Phil was against what MS did with X1 and that he didn`t had the power to fight it back.

Nintendo went from N64 to GameCube, Wii to WiiU, Sony went from PS2 to PS3, Xbox went from 360 to XB1. The market is incredibly in-consistence and random at times, almost a guessing game on who would make the bigger stuff up next.

Well i was never against the Don Mattrick's idea as always online and a digital market is something i am use to with Steam. Phil basically brought the brand back from a dark place with a new face however its obvious MS want this Don direction hence the current shift from hardware to services.
