Simply no. The industry needs Microsoft in the console business to keep Sony in check. Without competition, the consumer is the ultimate loser.

I want competition for Sony but MS isn't doing it. Sony has run past them twofold for 2 generations.

That's all fine and dandy, but who's going to come in and replace MS? Google, Amazon, Tencent, Netflix, Apple? It has to be a company big enough to absorb the losses and except the L the first generation they join. No one is stopping any of them from joining the console market now. Their no guarantee someone will replace MS either. The console market isn't growing so its likely not appealing for most companies. Consoles will also likely be a thing of the past in the next 2 decades so why would anyone join. MS might as well stick it out, especially after all the efforts they have put in to grow their 1st party studios. None of those other companies will be in a better position than Xbox is now. Xbox can still be successful, even if they don't reach PS or Nintendo numbers.
