I wonder what this means for the Xbox. They've never really made money on the thing and they've failed to make the Xbox One into the big multimedia entertainement device they wanted it to be. I don't think they'll can it (they have to recoup their losses after all), but this might be the last one.

Often times it's better to junk something than to try to recoup losses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalation_of_commitment

The question is when to pull the plug and when to feed it more.

I think the decision will come after the end of year sales numbers are in. This Christmas may determine the fate of the Xbox.
