Will there be an XB4 if the XB1 ends up in last place?

He does seem to be getting out of "most" device businesses.

I think he's still very much behind using the Xbox to deliver software/services to the living room, and using the Surface to help gain ground in the consumer space with their newest operating systems.

You know what is probably the only way MS does not make a new console is if someone else comes in and bypass MS . Maybe Valve or NVIDIA make a console that takes on the ps4, xb1 and Wii u . If something was created that started competing with the ps4 and xb1 starts to sell less then by the time they would want to make a new one they might think its not worth the hassle

Xbox 4 is practically a foregone conclusion no matter how the Bone performs this gen.

MS has a new XBox head in Spencer that has been garnering a lot of positive press for how he's gone about returning the division to a core gaming focus. They also have a new CEO in Nadella that has reiterated MS's support for the XBox, and specifically for it returning to a more gaming focused device.

These guys are stuck making do with a poorly designed box left over from the old administration. No way these two don't release their own vision of a console in due course.

I think you are being trolled by an alt account. I don't believe what he says anyway.

I think halo 4 has sold approximately 9 million copies by now, but this is kinda hard to verify since MS has not released any sales data for the game and vgchartz is not the most trustworthy source in the world.

If this gen is profitable enough, all this gen will prove to MS is to never stray away and change for gamers in the future. Console gamers don't like change.

Also there is so much more to this than early hardware sales, they'll still make a ton of money on games and services and other things like last gen. The X1 is getting off to a slow start but it's steadily picking up pace, enough to make milking viable again.

Listen, if Sony can continue after last gen, MS can continue from a slow start this gen. People forget, but compared, the X1s start was just slow this gen. The PS3s looked like it was going to take the company with it for a time, and I actually admired Sony for being able to come back from that. In comparison, this wont be that difficult for MS to come back from. The worst is over they just need the games to come out and the price to continue to slowly drop.

Judging a console by its first year is like judging a movie in the first 5 minutes. I believe a lot of people had the PS3 dead and buried with its price point, lack of games and being behind the X360 by a full year. But look what happened. Price drop, Uncharted, MAG, Heavy Rain and TLoU among other things and it made a nice come back. Anyone that thinks the X1 can't make a similar turnaround is just a dillusional fanboy...PERIOD!!!
