"XNA was canned while Microsoft left MonoGame and Unity pick up the C# developers still willing to invest into the platform"
I have no insider information to suggest otherwise, but don't you think that a replacement will be released with the new console?
My gut feeling is that even if they do, indie developers aren't going to fall for that one again.
What choice will they have?
No because microsoft isn't going to support a toolkit it has no intention of using on mobile or the desktop and will never be used by commercial game developers.
Are you aware there was a Premium version of XNA for AAA studios?
As far as I know, the XDK Extensions were intended for XBLA developers, not "AAA studios".

Right, I find it likely that XNA was killed to work on a better toolkit for all three.
