| Mr Puggsly said: Did you guys see the article was updated? UPDATE: Microsoft Chief of Staff for Devices and Studios Group Aaron Greenberg commented in a quite clear cut way: Ridiculous, cannot believe people would even believe something like this. Of course, even if it was true, we couldn’t really expect him or anyone else at Microsoft to confirm it before a deal was signed, as this kind of things are never publicly disclosed beforerhand. That said, we have no reason to disbelieve what Greenberg said, as Dodd himself followed up specifying that it’s just a rumor he heard within the industry and that developers are talking about it, so I’d peg its credibility at a rather low level for the moment, as it’s second hand information. |
Yeah, I saw that, and while it's likely they wouldn't be moving this quickly to ditch the Xbox Division, I can't help but reflect on their ability to lie in recent past.

Easy ammo aside, as the article states, no company would announce such a massive move of assets, before the deal is done. So, until given more credence, take it with the same amount of certainty as you do any other rumor.
