that rumor has to go, it makes people using it look silly and uninformed.... what shareholders ???? there have been two named for the issue with less than 2% of MS capital ownership combined, and very little weight compared to long term shareholders.... for the gazillion time there are more than 3 times as many that want to axe the hardware division at Sony of which one is the biggest Sony shareholder.... do we see people digging that rumor every 2 days ?????

The guy taking over the Devices division hasn't been too excited about Xbox in the past. 

Also, would you be surprised if MS announced tomorrow that the Xbox division is being sold off? When that Amazon rumor was announced, most people weren't that surprised. If Xbox was so safe then there wouldn't be the possibilty of it being sold off. 

Kinda goes against all the developer studios MS has made, their massive hiring spree, and purchasing of IP's like Gears of War and securing 3rd party games like Titanfall.

That is true but securing Gears and Titanfall would have cost a couple hundread million dollars. That is nothing for MS. They probably spent that much money marketing the X1. 

Besides, whoever were to buy Xbox would get ownership of all those studios.
