Comment on Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports

This would be difficult because the identity of X-Box is hardwired to Microsoft since the beginning. It’d be hard to imagine who else would have the financial backing and the knowithall as to what to do when it comes to production and marketing.
Microsoft would have to pawn off XBox to Nintendo or Sony who have knowledge in the gaming industry, but I am hard pressed to see that happening.

I would hope it would go to neither. Sony already owns basically a monopoly on the premium console market. Both Sony and Nintendo practically monopolize their software. Xbox was the only one that didn’t, and that removed reason for people who didn’t have an Xbox to buy an Xbox.
Why buy an Xbox if I can buy a PlayStation and have all the Sony exclusives AND all the Xbox games?
