For the reasons you listed? Of course not. Microsoft isn't Sega or Atari. The One could fail miserably (which it won't) and Microsoft would still pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the system without any problems. They're only a multibillion dollar company.

However, this will likely be the last generation for all consoles.

Within 3-4 years, APUs on notebooks will have the processing and graphical capabilities of the One and PS4. In 4-5 years, it will be common for players to stream their games.

"Xbox" and "Playstation" will become services, allowing you access to the latest games and entertainment from any device.

Well I guess that's fair.

I for one will not be purchasing ANY Microsoft products for a good while.

4-5yrs from now, consoles might become "cloud gaming" set top boxes. Ruling out the need for upgrading unless it is for some new implementation in controls or the way you interact. None the less, the need for local processing power will vanish in 8-10yrs from now.
