I just watched Xbox Two and what you realize is that they'll keep this going beyond the most ridiculous stage. They'll criticize Phil which is new, but they'll also defend him and Microsoft at the same time and say all the moves they're making NOW are correct, but they spent the last year glazing the idea of a handheld for example.
They can't imagine a world without Xbox even if that isn't Satya Nadella's priority at all. Whatever Xbox becomes in the future, you'll have these guys circling around it.
Hell, you just had someone post a thread that Sega should re-enter the console market after 20+ years...
It's what happens when your entire personality is based around something specific like this. I can't tell you how many things I've held really close to me that I've called it quits on: Dallas Cowboys, NFL, MLB, Blackberry, Android, Rotary Engines, Internal combustion engines in general... Let things come and go in your life as needed...
These are not major retailers... which again is what the OP is referring to here. antonline does not have enough stock to satisfy even a couple weeks of real console demand nationwide and even Antonline only has the Digital XSX...
