It doesn't make a lot of sense for Microsoft to kill XBox. Killing XBox would mean throwing away a successful line of business that is finally generating substantial profit after nearly a decade of investment. It would also be terrible for morale at the company. Here is a scrappy part of the business that went into a market where Microsoft was laughed off when it entered: game consoles. And after a dozen years, they've gone from last-place losers to a dominant, #1 position with the XBox 360. If the reward for this victory was dissolution and abandonment, then what motivation would there be for anyone to do any kind of innovative or disruptive work at Microsoft?
