Microsoft explored selling or spinning off Xbox after Phil Spencer's exit, according to a new report.

Original report comes from the paywalled The Information, that they tried to sell to private equity for $100B-$150B, but that it was short lived and fell through. This backs what a lot of us have been thinking based on the moves Sharma has been making, that they track with a sell-off of the Xbox brand.

    That one is always misleading. It’s a known Japanese corporate move.

    Doesn’t make it misleading, it is something that happened. I never read Sony did this before. Which other company did that, other than Nintendo?

    But, it actually does nothing financially, and usually none of the money saved goes anywhere.

    Where do you get that?

    (Edited a quote and reply away, because I was too dumb to read correctly.)

    It is what actually has been protecting Nintendo from their failures.

    So because it saves Nintendo from their failures, does mean its misleading to write articles that Nintendo did it?

    They still exploit and abuse employees just like every other Japanese corporation.

    In what way and where did you got that? Are there reports about Nintendo doing it?
