I wonder if they could sell Xbox to Lenovo for $huge. I don't think consoles are going to do very well this time -- mobile gaming killed the market for 'people who will tolerate lower spec hardware because it's convenient', and IIRC the PS3/360 were better relative to $2k PCs when launched than the PS4/Xbone are today relative to $2k PCs. The PS3/360 have been pretty mediocre for years, so the PS4/Xbone are going to get mediocre in a couple of years, so there's a long period of ugh ahead.
Media convergence is the only reason to keep the Xbone business, but if Microsoft focuses on Enterprise (or at least "work"), that doesn't matter, either.

- rdl 13y agoCurrent gamers didn't, but their kids did, reducing the demand for new consoles. I went the other way (back to PC gaming, had PS3/360; won't get PS4/Xbone until there's a platform exclusive I must have)
