I disagree, MS isn't looking to get out of creating their own hardware instead they are looking to get out of depending on hardware sells as the sole means of revenue in games. In other words, MS doesn't want to depend on the sales of Xbox hardware for revenue when there are billion of other devices out their that can play games. Why limit your market just to a console when you can at least attempt to allow users to play on whatever they have on hand. It also leverages the strength of MS as a company including their cloud stack.
