I think (and a lot of other would agree with me on this) that the Xbox division within Microsoft is the most customer-centric of any company in the entire world.

The people at Xbox are die hard gamers who really want to help you solve your problem whatever it might be. I don't know if spinning off one of the best divisions would be such a smart division specially when it is already profitable, unlike Bing.

But would it be more profitable on its own if it didn't have to conform to things like...Windows Phone integration (only)....Live ID signin, etc.?
