What if Microsoft actually wants out of the gaming industry?

Maybe they want to ruin the Xbox brand and redeem themselves by entering the electronics market and eventually making a MS TV thus killing Bravia and hitting Sony way harder than they ever could. That would be epic.

Why would they go to great lengths to make sure that they ruin their reputation/name before switching to a broader market? Why wouldn't they just, you know, enter those other markets right away, if that's what they wish to do? Why ruin a part of their name to make it happen?

Please, explain to me how that makes any sense in your head.

 I'm not sure, this business runs in mysterious ways.
