Microsoft Killing off Xbox?

[Agonist]

Apparently Xbox costs Microsoft money and does not really give them money. All of the Microsoft Investors are telling Microsoft to kill Xbox.

What do you guys think about this?

Xbox one is making them a ton of money.
I think they mean xbox 360. And it is being discontinued.
Though, I still own and will forever play mine until they make every game compatible on the one.

Well the ps4 is better so why not kill it off.

As owner of both, and I love most consoles. Play station is dick riding Xbox at the moment.

Investors successfully convinced them to kill off 360. Xbox one makes them so much from literal console sales and live to all things connected to it being Microsoft studios and even minecraft. There is no chance at all of Microsoft "killing" xbox at least within the next five years.

There is no way in hell they will eliminate any of those projects. They invested too much alone into bing, and its used by almost all of their programs including xbox. And xbox one was released around 3 years ago, why would they ever execute it now?

Honestly with the money Microsoft makes just from Minecraft sales they can afford to keep any project they want running

*It's only the 360 that they stopped supporting Xbox live for. XBOX ONE is still supported*

I thought they only discontinued the making of 360? They actually shut down live?

They are not unsupported. They just stop making them because, there is no point to make anymore. There is still support for the Xbox 360.[DOUBLEPOST=1461639704][/DOUBLEPOST]Statement from Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox):

"We know that many of you became gamers on Xbox 360 and are still active, so it’s important to us that while the overall Xbox gaming experience will evolve and grow, we will continue to support the platform you love in multiple ways:

• Xbox 360 owners will continue to receive Xbox Live services for their console, such as online multiplayer gaming and parties, access to the apps they use today, and Games with Gold and Deals with Gold.
• Xbox Live servers that support Xbox 360 services will also remain online and active. Our Xbox 360 fans can continue to play their favorite games with the full support of Xbox Live.
• Gamers will also be able to continue to buy over 4,000 Xbox 360 games or Xbox 360 accessories at retail and through our Xbox 360 store online, while supplies last.
• Any Xbox 360 hardware will still be supported at xbox.com/support.
• And Xbox One owners will be able to continue to enjoy available Xbox 360 games through Xbox One Backward Compatibility – at no additional cost."

You're claims are completely incorrect. Xbox 360's live feature is unsupported. Xbox One is, however, still being manufactured and sold. Please do not speak about a statement you're not sure about like you know it's true.
