Microsoft considered selling Xbox during internal discussions in recent months, according to a report by The Information, with concerns reportedly intensified by the underperformance of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and wider pressure on the gaming division.
The disclosure points to a moment of uncertainty inside one of gaming's most recognisable brands, even as Microsoft publicly pushes ahead with a refreshed strategy under Xbox leadership. While no formal process was launched and no buyers were approached, the fact the idea reached internal debate signals how sharply expectations have shifted.
