@ MoMox - I don't think MS would just toss Bioware some $$$$, publish the game just to see if end up on a rival console.
They said they were working with EA and Bioware about locking down the iP ... but I don't think MS expected Bioware to be gobbled up by EA either.
Seriously, I do think MS invested mad loot on the first ME and based on the way EA likes to milk their games (Madden, Need for Speed), I can bet you the sequels won't even compare to the first installment.
