To further expand upon not confusing PR talk with reality. Microsoft not caring about hardware numbers is very much
The Fox and the Grapes.
Having a more engaging (read: spends more money) audience is nice, but if you're not expanding your hardware base you have to worry about the audience shrinking. It is looking like the XB1 will not reach the same numbers as the 360 and the 360 had help with Sony's hubris.
Will the new xbox turn it around? At $500, I'm going with no. A temporary increase from new users and those replacing a current XB1 is probably the best they can hope for.
Just in case anyone is taking this as a Xbox is doomed post; it isn't, but just because Microsoft has a large war chest does not mean it is open to the xbox division.
