Bing can go but I think they'd make a big mistake by selling off the Xbox division. I know it doesn't make boatloads of money (I'd be surprised if they turned a big profit on the 360) but the next generation is all about entertainment in the living room and no way they should just concede to Sony.

I actually LIKE Bing...heck even better than Google for most things. Why the hell would they sell it off?

I believe that. They probably still haven't recovered from the RROD debacle

Bing belongs in the fiery recesses of hell, the place in which it was spawned, back in the bowels of Satan. There's not enough room on the internet to describe my loathing for Bing. If Bing were a man, and his teeth were on fire, I wouldn't piss in his mouth, and even that doesn't come close to expressing how I regard Bing. It's an invasive nuisance at the best of times.

Bing can go. It never caught on anyway.

If MS sold Xbox, I could see Nintendo buying it. Especially after they just pulled the plug on the Wii.

I shudder at the thought of Nintendo owning Xbox.

If Nintendo did buy Xbox would they leave it alone or would they make it more kid friendly like most of their products?

Nintendo is falling behind no doubt. So it would definitely help them by owning xbox. But like stated above, we'd have to hope and pray they leave xbox alone if they do buy it.
