Microsoft CEO Candidate Considering Selling Xbox Brand, Killing Bing

[ElYubiYubi]

I'd understand bailing on Bing, I don;t use it or know anyone who does, but I'd have thought the Xbox brand was pretty profitable to them. Are they really losing that much money on it?

2.5 Billions EVERY year. Only Android is saving Microsoft's ass. Yeah you read right, Android from Google

I'll go Bing the answer to this right now. Oh wait... Nobody actually ever says that. Just like those horrible Surface tablets nobody buys. You could kill Bing and nobody would even notice.

Now Xbox, it would seem poised to finally be profitable assuming they haven't alienated everybody by now.

If Nintendo buys the XBox, does it mean they will buy Rare back, too? Hmmm.

Of course! (Not like I thought of that! )

Rare is dead, it's not the same Rare we all loved and cared about. They haven't made a good game in a long time.

They would be better under Nintendo's hands...

But the people who made Rare, Rare, are no longer working at the company.

People are just pissy about the whole Star Wars episode 7 thing. Franchise has been butchered enough to make it kid friendly (Jar Jar Binks, 'nuff said).

I wish they did though, it's useless as far as I'm concerned.

How? Marvel is pumping out greatness. Pixar is pumping out greatness. They're releasing some playworthy games. Let me guess, "BOOO THEY BOUGHT STAR WARS!!!"
