Lol people thought they were leaving the console buisness.I don't think anyone doubted gaming is important for MS. Just that investing in exclusives/first party studios and hardware in the future is going to likely fall by the wayside in lieu of a service games-focused strategy.

Good for Phil. Good for xbox aswell.

I mean, if they do decide to get out of the hardware business that doesn't mean they are out of the gaming business.
just play destiny 2 on Xbox One and you have a very high chance of meeting him "personally"
or just visit E3 and other Xbox events...
my personal Microsoft hero tho, is Amy Hood
Where would they go? The hardware (console) side of XB is currently carrying them right now.

I don't know. If they are really pushing games as a service/play anywhere type of stuff the hardware seems less important. Just saying that the rumors/speculation/gossip that has been going around for years was always around hardware. I'm not sure anyone ever thought they'd quit gaming entirely, especially not after they bought minecraft.
I don't understand the congrats. This guy killed a number of games and is directly responsible for this year's underwhelming lineup of exclusive games compared. And people are still acting like this poor performance is not really his fault even though he has been in charge of gaming for many years.

Just lulling him into a false sense of security so they can liquidate the Xbox division. Any day now. /s
(Very well deserved. Wish him the best.)
Not to mention the PC community has largely shunned the Windows Store and UWP.

I really like what Phil has done since taking the step up in the job for Xbox.
All good stuff
I don't understand why people cry about exclusives like they matter to the vast majority of the population. Phil has done an amazing job at Microsoft and Xbox will only get better with him there.
I would definitely agree if they had their PC strategy down, but unfortunately that's not the case. Leaving hardware would essentially mean giving up Live subscriptions and game royalties. Two things they damn sure aren't getting on PC atm.

I doubt that they'll stop with hardware anytime soon.

Confirmed that Microsoft is bowing out of gaming and selling off Xbox.

What? LolPretty much, I wouldn't be shocked if Xbox pc is dropped if things don't pick up in 2018.
Unfortunately, their console is the only one that is viable at the moment and even that is a bit of a stretch.
Microsoft Rules, Sony Drools.
True, but they aren't anytime soon at least. People thought so after xbox one exclusives came on pc, especially after the rumors. Then we got word of Scorpio, they added xbox to their premium hardware, and they're working on a new console.I mean, if they do decide to get out of the hardware business that doesn't mean they are out of the gaming business.
Because they help bolster a consoles line up giving the gaming population a wealth of different titles to choose from. But by all means keep pretending they don't matter.

Eh, I still think that's very possible. Pending how well the X sells. Microsoft very obviously just wants you on Windows 10 regardless of if you buy their own hardware or not. No game released since last year, of for the foreseeable future, will require owning a Xbox.
They are still going to make games like Forza, Halo, Gears, KI, and Sea of Thieves. That's not going to go away, and thus gaming will still be important to them.
What? Lol
