Common sense says Nintendo and Sony won't be inclined to allow a competing service on their platform.

There's also just the simple fact that it is not.

Amid rumours of them quitting the hardware business, Microsoft states that they are "actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox."

I Think going forward, consoles upgrades will be like cellphone releases. Same thing but slightly better. I think the days of being completely wowed are behind us.

Normally, I'd say the crowd goes mild, but Xbox doesn't even have a crowd anymore.

30 million + isn't a crowd?

Also apparently the Xbox dedicated handheld was cancelled because AMD required a minimum 10 million units in the contract.

I think this could of been achievable but probaly MS probably already knew they wanted to make profit of the hardware from the get go and launch at a not so mass market price 

Then you forgot that thing would cost $1K+.

Numbers is not your thing hey? 30+ millions is what for you?
