Analysts have been going back an forth about this recently and I just don't see it happening, microsoft rarely gives up on its side projects. The xbox business has never really been profitable for them same as their windows phone division. If they need to dump anything it would be the windows phone but they haven't because they are sitting on so much software cash that it truly doesn't matter to them.
Stephen Elop is now the head of the Xbox division at Microsoft. He was the CEO of Nokia before they went under and has no business being the head of anything anymore no pun intended. Sources have said that he was gonna take over the Xbox division for a while now and subsequently will sell Xbox to Amazon.
To anybody that doesn't know, microsoft operates their xbox division at a loss. There have been a handful of years where they were profitable but overall the money they make off selling xbox's is nonexistent in comparison to their software business.
