Microsoft can't beat Sony in console business, so it aims to selling games business. I think they have pretty different business plans and I would not even be surprised if we don't see another Xbox, but will see PS6. MS clearly has it's eyes on cloud gaming and Sony don't care about that.

Playstation is too strong brand for Microsoft. Sony should just do what it does best and I bet both of them will be fine.

There will be more xboxs as long as there are PlayStations

Probably, but I would not be surprise if there wasn't or if it was actually a cloud console(like the one that is coming but was postponed).

Of course more options but there's always people who want hardware. As good as cloud can be it's nowhere a main source of gaming

All the options ms gives and the series consoles have sold better than any xbox to date in the period they been out

Of course, I am talking about the future.

And we know that selling consoles is a bad business. The money consoles make comes from other sources than selling the actual console. I think this is why MS already flirts with cloud, but Xcloud is pretty bad and years away from actually working product. GeForce Now is great techwise, but it has a lousy library which MS now makes much better.

But yeah, I agree that consoles are not going away in near future.
