Xbox is next? (Score: 2, Insightful) by skarjak@pipedot.org on 2014-07-30 15:57 (#2Q4) I wonder what this means for the Xbox.

I don't think they'll can it (they have to recoup their losses after all), but this might be the last one. Re: Xbox is next?

This Christmas may determine the fate of the Xbox.
