I believe what I have seen from MS as a whole and if anything, if they did fire both Bond and Phil than MS probably going to drop out of the hardware business than anything else. If you believe them putting this woman into the CEO office to go back to the old days that really doesn't make any sense in todays climate. If anything, she is there to transition MS out of hardware period and just a placeholder until they understand what they want to do. I believe a lot of the previous decisions were done to try to please the top brass at MS so why would anything change now. You guys are just way to easy to jump on ever piece of rumor or BS you heard in the while and go with that when most people are just throwing stuff at the wall to see what stick.

I actually agree with you there to a certain extent. I can only see one of two outcomes coming from this:
Either, a) They drop the whole multiplatform nonsense or, b) They drop out of the hardware business. No inbetween.
And if for some reason they still are under the delusion that they can just have a console out there without exclusive content, then they are in for a rude awakening.

They clearly stated that they want their games to be played where gamers are. I feel like this means those games are there to stay (on other platforms), but they want to come back with some exclusivity (timed or unique content?). I think there is a way to have both (ie to have their own console and still have their games on other platforms).
I also do not think they will drop out of hardware business just yet, they will try the next generation for sure; the hybrid approach needs to be attempted first.
