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.

    The only people I could imagine would have the means and desire to buy Xbox from Microsoft are Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, or the Saudi government.

    sigh That’s gonna be the end goal, huh? Wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up in the hands of Bonesaw or the Ellisons.
