Microsoft's end game is basically Valve's current state. Valve dabbles in hardware but their bread and butter is basically a store/economy.
The day Microsoft decides to stop building consoles is the day they win.
I'm kinda with you but MS has been producing some god tier hardware lately. Surface, Surface Book, the Xbox Slim looks incredible. I'd be sad to see the stop making hardware just when they've figured it out.
Side note: I'll be getting a Scorpio for sure. Super excited.
I love this. Microsoft is just saying "Fuck it! Play our shit on Xbox or PC or whatever! Also, the Xbox is going to be more like steam machine."
Very excited to see what the future holds. I wouldn't rule out seeing Halo on a PS4 at some point now that the dam has broken.
This is the start of the "one box future" that people have been predicting for years. Except it might be many boxes that play everything (kind of like a PC I guess).
