The thing is, It would still cost billions for MS to create Xbox hardware because in order to keep their cloud platform going, they need to always invest in new hardware to supply their servers. This is a key point I believe you are missing Azz. MS needs those servers running their hardware in order to get support from developers building games for that hardware. MS is never leaving the hardware console business because their infrastructure is dependent on that hardware.
