Default Microsoft has been 'Hiring People Like Mad' for third-generation'Xbox 720'

"Microsoft is going to keep the Xbox 360 platform around until long
after the third generation "Xbox 720" comes out. There is almost no
possibility of them canning the Xbox project since they moved into a
big new office and have been hiring people like mad."

Presumably they'd need to make a profit at _some_ point...

Yea, eventually. But the 360 profit loss is all by design as their real
goal is to take over the way we purchase games and movies. Digital
distribution of movies and games is their real goal.
