Without XBox Consoles, XBox is No More, It's Just a Brand (More Rumours of Microsoft Ending XBox, Then Laying Off Lots of Staff)
In recent hours:
After the non-denying denials [1, 2] and gossip about products that do not even exist we're seeing more signs that XBox is, in effect, reaching "end of life". Last night we published: Microsoft is Finally Giving Up on XBox, The Chief Says the Grapes Are Sour Anyway
They just come up with spin and excuses. They start targeting the consoles of rivals, notable Sony's. There are otherwise deep losses. More things are dying, as layoffs add up:
14 hours ago they said "parked indefinitely" - both a punchline (cars) and ridicule of what Microsoft is saying.
All signs indicate that Microsoft wants to "exit" the XBox business (not brand), but it does not want to publicly admit this as it would alarm staff and shareholders. █
