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.

Complete idiots working at Microsoft. Sharma clearly has no real interest in gaming and together with her management, she will drive it further into the ground before selling off the remains. As a lifelong PlayStation owner, I welcomed the competition as Sony only got their act together when XBox excelled. If the console disappears, Sony will take their customers for a ride

    Sony has clearly already begun the ride and it’s been a rough few months already

    Sony began the ride a long time ago. They could not give a fuck about consumers. I dont think many people will buy the next console generation anyway, considering we are looking at $1000+ price tags.

    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.
