It seems to me like all the stuff they're doing with game pass and putting their shit on switch and playstation. Makes me think they're poised to get out of hardware probably in the next 10 years or so.

They might offer some like streaming stick but eventually I think they want to just be a gaming service like Netflix is for movies.

I think we'll get one more xbox console generation and the next console will probably be digital only as well.

This seems obvious to me.

    I think what microsoft wants is to have all games running on their servers and have everyone on earth paying them a subscription for the privilege of accessing them.

      If they could have that, Yeah. I think right now their focus is on becoming the premier service to stream games via a subscription service.

      The biggest blockbuster shooter franchise Is essentially a Microsoft brand now. You want call of duty? In the future on your Ps7 or whatever or PC, you're going to need to download the xbox app and fork over that cash
