All indicators are that, yes, Microsoft is strongly considering giving
up on its console-uber-alles strategy for games. Console sales overall
are dropping, and XBox is doing the worst of them all. Their recent
advertising push has been pushing the idea that "everything is an
Xbox" thanks to its online streaming service. Its not certain if
Microsoft will back out entirely from the console market -its possible
they'll keep the device as a 'premium product' but it seems likely it
won't dominate future strategies like it used to.
