Following circulating rumors that Microsoft would be moving away from producing physical Xbox hardware in favor of cloud gaming in the future, the company has issued a statement to confirm that this is indeed not the case – for now, anyway.
Well-known community leaker SneakerSO took to the NeoGAF forums over the weekend with some very intriguing information about Microsoft's plans for Xbox in the coming years. He reported that "the steps you would need to take in the lead up to delivering a new console gen weren't being met" at the company, going on to conclude that "the future of Xbox is software publishing" with "cloud gaming being the home of the 'Xbox platform.'"
