I know MS generates more money but their main profit is OS's so how much money will they throw at the XboxProject when its never turned a profit?Yeah they will probably support it for along time to come even if it doesnt make a profit but so will Sony but SCE has been Sony's most profitable area MSGS is MS least profitable the chances of MS buying R* is low unless a bid war happens with Sony which then its completly up to R*.IF Sony is trying to buy R* then MS will most likely make a bid but if Sony doesnt try to buy R* MS wont make a bid,the ball is in Sony's court.

And you assume Sony is anymore likely to make this purchase as a company when so far MS is the only one we've ever seen to buy a major studio of any kind. Wasn't Sony walking on egg shells with investors not too long ago over the money the PlayStation division is losing them? How would a ridiculous expenditure such as purchasing something the size of Rockstar help the matter and not just Forsake the PlayStation or Sony altogether?

It's a tempting prospect I know but we have to ask ourselves at what point does wishful thinking become a matter of simply closing our eyes and covering our ears?
