Prospective buyers reportedly value Xbox at up to $150 billion

[UnratedKev14]

How much is Xbox worth? According to a new report, potentially a great deal. GameSpot's Darryn Bonthuys reports that The Information says several private equity firms looked at buying Microsoft's gaming division and were willing to pay as much as 150 billion dollars

The report also says Xbox could be worth at least 100 billion dollars. The firms were only exploring the idea, though, and had not opened talks with Microsoft

This follows Fortune's report that some insiders believe Xbox is being readied for a sale or spin off. Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma has previously said that Xbox is not for sale

There is financial pressure in the background. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has said Xbox must pull its financial weight, and GameSpot cites a profit margin of around three percent for the division. That is low for a Microsoft business

A valuation that high reflects how much Microsoft has spent on Activision Blizzard and Bethesda. Whether anyone would pay it is another question. For players, the bigger concern is what a change of owner would mean for Game Pass and Xbox's studios

Do you think Microsoft would ever sell Xbox? And who would be the best owner for it?
