A leading industry analyst has responded to claims Sony should buy Microsoft’s Xbox division as ‘simply ridiculous’.

“The idea that Sony would purchase Xbox or that Microsoft would even put the Xbox division up for sale is simply ridiculous. Las Vegas wouldn’t even handicap that scenario,” Jesse Divnich, Vice President of Insights and Analysis for Electronic Entertainment Design and Research, told NowGamer.com exclusively.

He continued: “Sony cannot afford to purchase Microsoft’s Xbox business. Not to mention that the Xbox brand is not for sale.”

Divnich responded to claims by Forbes contributor Adam Hartung earlier today (Mon) that Microsoft should sell its Xbox Division to ‘someone like Sony’.

Hartung said: “The entertainment division will be spun off, sold to someone like Sony or possibly Barnes & Noble, or dramatically reduced in size.

"Failure is already inevitable. At this stage, not even a new CEO can save Microsoft. Game over. Ballmer loses. And if you keep your money invested in Microsoft it will disappear along with the company.”

Who even thought about this at all? How should an (almost?) bankrupt company buy one of Microsoft's biggest brands. That's just ridiculous...

What's even more ridiculous is that he brought up Barnes & Noble in the article.

Sony can barely afford their own divisions

Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve.

Once Sony buys the Xbox division, Sega should buy Sony.

The biggest lol in the article is that Barnes & Noble was mentioned really who still buys books there I'm suprised that they still exist.

Clearly the article (+rumor). We all'd get banned for even thinking of the turd this guy wrote.
