Despite investor criticism, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella says the company has no plans to sell off Xbox.

At the Code Conference in Rancho Palo Verde, California, Nadella told interviewers, "I have no intent to do anything different with Xbox than we are doing today," The Verge reports.

Nadella was promoted to Microsoft CEO back in February, where he told Microsoft employees, “While we have seen great success, we are hungry to do more. Our industry does not respect tradition — it only respects innovation.” Though he never made a statement or showed intention of selling Xbox, rumors appeared online, and investors didn't think it was a bad idea.

They better not.. I can't imagine Xbox with any other company anyways.

Why would they?

I'd be interested if the sold Xbox to a company he actually caters to games, imagine is Sega bought it, I highly doubt they would have enough money though, or imagine the shitstorm if EA bought it.

I guess the investors must have thought there was little future in console gaming.
