Given their investment in Black Tusk, purchasing the Gears IP, etc....why would they be investing in all that if they were looking to sell the brand this whole time?

They could plan to keep the Microsoft Game Studios as a third party developer for the console and PC market, or second party for the XBO. And perhaps still be the provider for the online services. It's all very unlikely, but I think that's one way it could work.
