Forbes Thinks Microsoft Should Sell XBox to Nintendo

No Matter How you Slice it, the Gaming Industry is One Characterized by Profit Loss. Even if your System is Doing Well, Constant Competition and Price Wars, Make it Difficult just to Break Even by the End of a Console Generation. With New Leadership and a CEO that Wants to Place Less Emphasis on Microsoft's Consumer Presence, Many Company Investors Feel that, the XBox Brand should be the Very First Asset to Get the Axe. In its 10 Years of Existence, XBox has Constantly Left the Hardware Maker in the Red and Console Gaming May be on the Verge of Evaporation as in Casual Markets Rapidly Transition to Mobile Phones.


With Change of Structure in Mind, What should be MS' Next Move ? If you Asked Adam Hartung of Forbes, (via MaxConsole) he would Suggest that, XBox May be a Brand Worth Selling to a Game-Centric Outfit like Nintendo. Both XBox One and Wii U are Fighting a Tough Battle against Sony's Popular PS4 and to him, this Exchange of Names would Only Serve to Benefit Both Sides of a Losing Fight. In Theory, Microsoft could be Sitting on a Massive Pile of Cash from the Sale, to Use for its Future Pursuits and Nintendo would Have a Whole Lot More Muster to Take on a PlayStation Brand that Remains a Single Stronghold for a Starving Sony.
