Man at first he seemed like an obvious shill but at least well-composed, then as things went on he started looking like the biggest clown but still at least tolerable for the antics.
Now, he just looks absolutely pathetic. Full on still stuck in Denial stage when even some of the most jaded Xbox console warriors have moved on to the Bargaining phase. Some are even depressed at this point, and a very small few have finally accepted the reality for what it is.
Where's Lulu telling him to get off Twitter and take a break? Maybe he'll listen if she's the one who tells him.
Why would anyone buy the Xbox division? Shut the whole Xbox division down and go third party with Bethesda staying completely independent from the other studios.
MS is just too greedy to accept that they'll have to pay 30% to Sony/Valve/Nintendo for Gamepass to be relevant.
I think
@KiryuRealty has said in the past that MS actually did shop Xbox around near the end of 360 era, and Samsung were one of the prospective buyers. However, they backed out of buying the division.
So their best chance to sell Xbox was over a decade ago. With where the division is now (including all the debt), it wouldn't be an attractive asset for any company to purchase. But I still think if push comes to shove, Microsoft can salvage the hardware side of Xbox division, they would just need to change the business model into one that actually makes sense.
Refocus the hardware line into NUC-style mini PCs custom-built for gaming, and move the hardware team to under the Surface division. It would be such a net positive for Xbox as a brand, and I think they could come up with some really cool hardware designs that could innovate PC gaming, which are Microsoft's gaming roots anyway. Instead they're letting Valve get all the shine.
