Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2: Will Microsoft buy them?

[Dodece]

Seriously if you have been on these forums long enough to make hundreds or thousands of posts you should be well versed in the fact that Microsoft was the console publisher for Mass Effect. The fact that Electronic Arts purchased Bioware cannot change that. Electronic Arts did not get the publishing rights that Microsoft already purchased.

Microsoft would have to be paid supremely well for them to even consider letting Electronic Arts publish the title for the PS3. Bottom line your never going to get the first game on the PS3. We are looking at a less then one percent chance. The other titles are probably fair game, but in all likelihood Microsoft probably secured the other two titles in the series. I also doubt that Electronic Arts had to be bribed too handsomely to do so. Bioware is not skilled in development for multiple consoles. The fan base for their games are on one console. Electronic Arts purchased the developer to get their hands on the MMO.

I would be incredibly surprised if Mass Effect 2 was not exclusive. Bioshock 2 is probably for multiple platforms. Take 2 needs all of the money it can get right now. That said it isn't at all entirely relevant, because the title will probably not arrive until 2010.
