I don't see Microsoft staying longer in the console race...They have too much to care about.

Like...

Give us some examples of what could stop them.

Well I just don't see Microsoft staying in the gaming area permanently...They are makin good profit elsewhere.. Windows, Zune..etc.

Oh, wow. Again!

Wow, so if MS is not making a profit, then is Sony making a profit?

Sony just can't accept they finally are in last place.

No, Microsoft has had a 1 year lead but if you look at the first 2 years of each of PS3 and 360's sales ps3 is leading. so even though microsoft is selling their stuff for very cheap and sonys is very expensive, sony are acctually winning over microsoft. Also because PS3 offered a BRAND NEW type of gaming (bluray) and has massive library of games from 3rd and 1st party devs.

Alright you got me there..... but look at the ''other'' differences.

If you think about it this is Microsofts 2nd gen, there the least experienced here. While Sony is in it's 3rd gen. So Sony has a bigger fanbase.

Blu-Ray also came out on Players and computer drives. My laptop has Blu-Ray, so what's your point?

OT: That's just highly speculation but it could happen...the article.

Apparently we have very different definitions of what constitutes an "interesting read"...

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Complete garbage article. The fact that the author can't see a larger strategy with the Xbox brand is pretty laughable.

MS have accomplished what they set out to do this gen; beat Sony. There is no logical reason for them not to make another console.
Does the author of the article forget that if you use the simple formula of; operating loss = no go for next generation means that Sony wouldn't make one either?
