I'd be good with it, just because I think Sony + Nintendo is enough for the game business and Nintendo could in that case return to a more 90s like approach.

But logically I doubt it. You don't buy the 3rd or 4th largest gaming IP in the world at the moment to then sell off the game division.

It would be like Disney buying Star Wars and then announcing they are getting out of the live action movie business.

But Disney doesn't want to get out of the movie business. I think this situation (if true) is more like renovating a house so that you can sell it for a higher price. Investors wouldn't be impressed if they saw Xbox's current profit margins and losses over the years. This would help make it look much more attractive.
