When Microsoft inevitably sells the Xbox brand to Apple or Tencent are we gong to be better off or worse off?

Why would apple care about Xbox brand?
The apple brand is much stronger and more positively viewed.
They have very high effeciency cpu/gpu's as well.... it would be arm based, with their own chips, and their own walled garden. 

Tencent? I'm not sure they are intrested in owning the xbox brand or making consoles.
Their aim would likely be the Chinese market first and foremost.

Elon Musk might buy it, because it has a X in it :)  Xbox....  He plays diablo and liked that game.  He could view it as a fun buy, thingy, just to own blizzard.
He would want xbox to sell him the Diablo IP at the very least, if he did.

Activison alone would make any of these companies enough money to be worth it.
