Microsoft Should Sell Xbox Franchise (Analyst+Terrible Idea)

Microsoft Should Sell Xbox Franchise (Analyst+Terrible Idea)

While catching up with stock market updates, I noticed that Kim Caughey Forrest of Fort Pitt Capital suggested that Microsoft should get rid of Xbox, despite it being a “formidable cash machine” she says. Why. Because “Xbox doesn't belong” and doesn't fit with the other “corporate” products like Office. It seems to me like a terrible idea. Xbox is a wonderful franchise for Microsoft, and one that is truly interconnected with Windows and Direct X.

Ubergizmo
