Microfart leaving the console market isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Maybe that's why Sony signed the contract?
They could have owned a decade of COD games outright. That would have made more sense.For the price of the Activision merger, MS could have distributed 233M Series S consoles.
It could be a Cloud-Only console. I wouldn’t bet on a traditional hardware. Microsoft never cared about Hardware. They want just one thing: binding people to subscription services.They are still making the next gen Xbox, the brand is pretty strong in NA (American racists and dumbass patriots help a lot). Too afraid to quit and concede the console market to Sony. They know they can't outsell PS in any generation.

Like Jobs said: They are opportunistic. They keep coming back.At some point you have to figure they would give up. You’d think.
Now they own it forever and all the profits go to them regardless of where it's made.They could have owned a decade of COD games outright. That would have made more sense.
