MS may spin off the xbox division and sell it off.

Considering they already started recruiting for R&D for the next one... Pretty sure it'll exist.... Now you might be right about it not being a home console.... Then again consoles stand alone like the PS or Nintendo are super overdue and should be a thing of the past within a decade... True XBox fans don't want a home console... They want an all around multimedia service solution.. The original vision is the future we all know it... Some have already embraced it...
XBOX as a brand has more too to grow than the PS one than pretty has peaked with the PS2....

Nintendo cheated out Sony before Sony created the Ps1, that is common knowledge if i am not mistaken.
I also included that Sony wanted to create their own software, it's not that they said: We will destroy you microsoft.

The 360 released a year earlier so implying that the 360 was selling better because it had 10 mill consoles sold headstart would be weird.
We should count the amount of consoles both consoles sold during it's first year. The Ps3 outsold the 360 during it's first launch atleast enough to close a 10 mill gap during 10 years and surpass it. Which means they both was quite solid. The WiiU had 2 years headstart and managed to get crushed by both the Ps4 and the XB1 which should be considered embarressing on nintendo's part.

It seem to me that the Cell processor managed to do a lot more for the Ps3 then what the GPU managed to do for the XB1. Ofc the Devs preferred the XB360 due for the standard coding, which was similare to PC. It's not like they didn't want to utilize the cell but they didn't have the extra time to dedicate purely on the Ps3.. You know? Publishers and shit? Sony didn't exactly make it easier due for their attitude towards lazy developers which was a bad choice for Sony cause efficiency is as important as power which they could have changed the tide with a proper utilized Dev kit.

It's all in the past now. They are both going to use Custom tweaked off the shelves parts from now on... atleast they can't fuck us over with the lack backward compatibility now since the architecture will remain the same lol

Why they continue to try and shove Xbox down us PC gamer's throats we will never know...

The XB1 is the fastest selling Xbox in history and it did it in only 13 countries for its launch year. I believe there wont be any more consoles after this gen apart from Nintendo's offerings. There's too much money missed by Sony and MS with its own hardware. PSN and Live will be available on PC in the next few years with a subscription based model to play there games. Not only does it save Sony and MS billions on RnD for there consoles but gives a greater access to there games. With PCs now capable of using DS4s and XB1 controllers there isn't a need for them anymore. Its my opinion, and as I said, there's too much money missed. Imagine the sales on UC4 or Halo 5 if its available to everyone? TLOU sold 7m on the PS3 alone and Halo 4 sold 9m on the 360. These numbers will double if the exclusive wall wasn't there.

Xbox would have to really start tanking HARD for Microsoft to consider discontinuing the brand.

i doubt the pad is that expensive. Probl 10-20$ not more. A complete iphone has 150$ material costs and dont use plastic old touchscreen in 480p

Except they're already working on the new consoles and have admitted it... The only reason consoles aren't selling as well this gen as last is because the casuals have moved to phones. 

according to a CNN breakdown the  pad cost was $76 with $24 of that being the 6.1 inch screen , still no matter where the costs came , the fact was it was their first console to make a loss at retail .The consensus seemed to put it at around $50 per console , and that fits in with reggie saying one sold game made up for the loss.

I find that type of comment disengenius no matter who states it whether it's Sony,  Nintendo or MS,  because it makes it seem like the  price of one game wipes out the debt and we all know that Nintendo doesn't pocket all of the retail price and another thing people would have bought those games no matter what the consoles price was any way , the truth is making a profit from software doesn't in no way diminish the fact you have  lost money off the console the reason being those losses have still eaten away at those profits.

Still they now at least break even or make a small profit from WiiU sales so they at least don't have to worry about losing more money on ithe venture.

Because it is their gaming brand?
