Seriously... As a fan of Halo, I want them to support the Xbox forever, but as an investor, I wish they'd stop.

  Why? Xbox is profitable. It wasn't 3 years ago, but it is now. Xbox Live is important to Microsoft's cloud vision.

    That division’s revenue is declining YoY, and they are about to incur research costs for the new hardware, and perhaps subsidies. It just seems hard to believe for me that the opportunity cost is there, at least with their approach.

      I'm amazed they don't use the development costs to make a desktop Surface like the Mac Mini out of the Xbox Series X internals - may as well order more chips and spread the cost.

        Xbox Devices is supposed to roll up to Panos Panay now too, so anything is possible. It would not be a surprise if continued future alignment between Xbox and Surface is already in the plans.
