Gaming Is Critical For Microsoft’s Future, Says Microsoft CFO
However, speaking at Microsoft’s Financial Analyst Briefing 2017, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood reiterated that gaming is absolutely critical to Microsoft’s business and the future it envisions for itself. Not only that, but it is a profitable venture for Microsoft, too, thanks to revenues from subscriptions to Xbox Live, and the like.
This at least explains Microsoft’s move towards games as a service model- and while gaming remains important to the company, the question of whether or not dedicated consoles are in Xbox’s future beyond the Scorpio is something that remains to be answered. Microsoft will remain engaged in gaming in the long term, there is little to no doubt of that, now- but will it remain invested in the dedicated consoles business? Or will it transition entirely to games as a service? That remains to be seen.

Personally i would like them to do a interactive TV as that would be a great combo for the gaming systems themselves...

"especially if the going were to get unnecessarily tough for them in that field- which it has been over the last few years."
if they were to drop it, Microsoft stock and revenue would die out extremely quick. It is their main financial income, and audience.
