The only 'big' company i could see them going for would be Sega, you never know - but at the moment I think Microsoft is seeing it's best strategy to not have internal studios, where they 'gasp' have to sell their stuff on their console only(limiting profits). They see the market being very pro-multiplatform for a long time to come. Instead they wanna fund big name studios for exclusives and out-bid Sony/Nintendo for anything that looks good early in development. i actually think they're starting to believe exclusives don't matter, and that there will be enough multi-plat content for them to get customers and they can make sure they're the lowest priced console by nickle and dimeing their buyers for live and accessories - using these profits to sell at a loss. |
Could be like that.
But it's funny how this news comes 1 week after M$ state that they will go head to head with Sony's First Party titles. Makes you wonder doesnt it.

In that statement they mentioned Gears as a first party title. Their definition of "first party" is rather liberal.

lol yeah.. hopefully the people from the studio will form a new studio.. like most of westwood formed petroglyph.. though without their original ip's they will probably never be the same.
