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.
Does anyone remember the CD bootloader shit they pulled? They’ve always only been kept on check by competition. Hopefully at least Steal and the Steam Box continue to grow to actually compete with the console market.
