Why do we suppose that they have to make a console? For 3 gens they've failed to be the "best" player in the game, and they don't seem to be getting better at it. They can just exit that space like they exited MP3 players and let others who are better at it handle it. Focus on growing a robust PC platform instead.
As a PC gamer primarily, I don't really care if they exit the console space. Honestly, I don't even care if they exit the PC space because they don't have a lot of exclusives and what they do have doesn't appeal to me at all, and the Windows store is terrible (along with the UWP philosophy).
Are people seriously still downplaying the Xbox 360? That console was incredible and stayed on-top of the PlayStation 3 throughout most of the generation. The 360 was able to compete with the successor to the best selling games console, it may not have been the 'best player' of the generation but what it accomplished was incredible to say the least, and this was their second attempt at home consoles, considering they barely grasped firm ground with the original Xbox due to the same best selling console competing with it.
Meanwhile Nintendo held the fort down with the Wii and nobody could contest them.
