Couple of days after the reports that investors wanted the new Microsoft CEO to dissolve the Xbox division the company, rumors go that Amazon is willing to buy the brand.
Well known industry insider Pete Dodd supposidly knows more...
He further mentioned this on neogaf:
Microsoft denies this, naturally.
But seeing how they also denied the dissolvement of Windows Live Messenger at first.
I'd say it's possible, tho incredibly foolish.
As for now, take it with some salt.
It still is a rumor.

“What am I creating fud for? I own an xbox one and quite enjoy it. Am I
trying to sabotage myself? I passed on a rumor that is being taken way
more seriously than I imagined. That’s it. No need for Tinfoil hats,”
"Am I being trolled? The original person to tell me might have been, I thought. I followed up with others. They said the same thing. Basically the scuttlebutt around D.I.C.E was that this made sense, one looking to dump, another looking to acquire. Then I talked to someone at ms that said there have been talks but it’s not even close to a done deal and if it does get done it will take years,"
"I thought a few people would find it entertaining that this is a current rumor and now there are sites saying that I’m saying that Microsoft is selling xbox to Amazon. Like I said before I don’t put enough stock in this to even make a thread myself. I really wish this one was closed. I take the blame, I have serious self-awareness problems as I have no idea that I can even cause a commotion like this."
