So famousmortimer has posted on twitter that 'the scuttlebutt' is that Amazon are buying Xbox. Still a long way from being done. Let's say this happens, what would the implications be, if any?

Pwn · Feb 15, 2014

What? Where?

Persona7 · Feb 15, 2014

what.....?

flying dutchman · Feb 15, 2014

Would they be that silly? And i dont think MS is selling.

Acquiescence · Feb 15, 2014

Sounds pretty ludicrous.

BY2K · Feb 15, 2014

TacticalFox88 · Feb 15, 2014

Da fuq?

The Dutch Slayer · Feb 15, 2014

lol

This is just making stuff up because some investors from MS want the xbox and other devisions to go away from MS.

First we need to see the split from MS in the first place then we can speculate on who would/should buy the devision.

Canis lupus · Feb 15, 2014

Why would Amazon do that?

lupinko · Feb 15, 2014

Hey so Double Helix will still work on KI after all.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Feb 15, 2014

They should of let DH continue doing KI then whats this

SgtCobra · Feb 15, 2014

boi · Feb 15, 2014

If Microsoft would sell this would be the most likely candidate yes.

Miles X · Feb 15, 2014

Can we stop quoting this guy, it's just trolling at this point.

MS investors want to get rid of Xbox(its margins are nothing compared to their cloud services) and Amazon has shown interest in getting into the console/home media center business.

I mean they already bought double helix.

fade_ · Feb 15, 2014

That would be awkward considering they have a PSN storefront.

Coulomb_Barrier · Feb 15, 2014

Holy shit. Is this the new CEO's work?

enanogrande · Feb 15, 2014

I'll believe it when I see it. Don't really see it happening. That being said, Amazon would price cut the shit out of it so maybe wouldn't be so bad.

Herb Alpert · Feb 15, 2014

and Nintendo becomes a swedish brand, I heard.

malfcn · Feb 15, 2014

Megaton.

Xbox Prime.

Sendou · Feb 15, 2014

Honestly I wouldn't be even surprised if this happened.

FinalStageBoss · Feb 15, 2014

So MS is really trying to dump xbox

RulkezX · Feb 15, 2014

Someone's having fin at Mort's expense.

New CEO + Amazon buying DH + Investors wanting to sell Xbox = perfect rumour material for mortimer.

Arrogant Bastard · Feb 15, 2014

Lol what, no...sorry I'm not believing this.

Certinty · Feb 15, 2014

Now this I would like to see.

def sim · Feb 15, 2014

As interesting as this could be, just straight up "well, I heard" for something this big and far off is kinda silly.

Rojo · Feb 15, 2014

I dont know what to believe.

TheBioLover · Feb 15, 2014

While I do trust famousmortimer/Pete, making threads out of his tweets (and also not posting said tweets) seems like a bad idea.

Milennia · Feb 15, 2014

if its true, i called it weeks ago.

as a joke, but still.

HORRORSHØW · Feb 15, 2014

Famousmortimer's sources

tsumineko · Feb 15, 2014

Xbox One the new Kindle reader.

Caayn · Feb 15, 2014

This is about as accurate as a crystal ball on a fair. I don't see MS selling the Xbox brand/console/etc anytime soon. They've just invested billions of dollars into it.

Ban Puncher · Feb 15, 2014

Komo · Feb 15, 2014

Didn't investors recently push Microsoft to sell off the Xbox brand?

LTWheels · Feb 15, 2014

Sounds like someone has gone off the deep end.

Kouriozan · Feb 15, 2014

Twitter rumour?
Alright then.

Chobel · Feb 15, 2014

Doesn't make any sense.

Zalman · Feb 15, 2014

I don't see this happening, but it might actually help the Xbox brand.

New CEO is actually pro xbox he wants to keep the devision.

enzo_gt · Feb 15, 2014

OP you might want to actually link/source what the fuck you're talking about or else, well yeah the thread goes like this.

Nibel · Feb 15, 2014

Whoa, kind of.. fitting?

Papercuts · Feb 15, 2014

Ah, twitter. You strike again.

The details don't matter to him.

ElTorro · Feb 15, 2014

Don't know what to think of that.

Dougald · Feb 15, 2014

Xbox is being bought by Exxon Mobil. Trust me guys, my sources are legit and totally not made up for publicity

Push? No.

Amazon does not have the money to burn to pick up the Xbox brand.

FinalStageBoss · Feb 15, 2014

Amazon running Xbox would be very interesting though
