I hope they do sell it. It's very obvious Microsoft does not know what they are doing with the brand. It would be nice for someone to take over Xbox and start delivering REAL exclusives like Sony

Microsoft isn't considering anything. One of their CEO candidates who doesn't even work for Microsoft was suggesting moving it outside of Microsoft's other divisions, so Microsoft could focus more on their Office and service products. XBox isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Also there is already a thread for this story, so the mods can lock this one.

Funny how coming into next gen Lems said Sony doesn't have the money for a PS4, now it's their brand which is at risk of disappearing LMAO.

He does work for Microsoft. He's the new president of their devices division. But you're still right; a candidate for CEO spitballing is nowhere near what the OP's blatantly made up topic title says.

False, it's a VERY possible scenario.

Candidate CEO + important shareholders want to get rid of Xbox.

"Any sale of Bing or Xbox seems unlikely, despite continued suggestions over the years. Microsoft is moving to integrate its search engine experience directly into Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone, and the company is just weeks away from launching its next-generation Xbox One console. Bing also powers a number Xbox search and app features. Either way, Microsoft’s CEO search appears to be progressing with some suggesting the company may name a Ballmer successor by the end of the year." Wow way to really report out of context TC.

Yep. I would love Sega to join the party again, but i'm not sure if i want MS out yet. Xbox and 360 brought some great games and features to the industry.

Lol, Xbox isn' going anywhere based off of rumors of what a potential candidate may potentially due. But facts are Sony is in a terrible financial state and their whole damn company is a risk in the next few years. Xbox isn't going anywhere and will be profitable day one with every system sold.

This thread title makes me chuckle.

" Microsoft is considering selling Xbox."

Yeah, it's about time they started to work out how to market and sell the thing.
