Actually there are two good targets for aquisition. Valve and Epic. Epic makes engines for a lot of games and they have a strong relationship with Microsoft and Valve has the biggest online game distribution site under their belt as well.

 

Nah, they won't aquire Valve. For something that awesome to happen, a black hole would rip in the center of the universe and swallow existence. Thats like Microsoft getting the video game form of Chuck Norris.

Epic, maybe. I'd much rather see them aquire Valve or T2 then Epic though.

Hmm T2 is a mess, why buy a problem? Also once the contract with R* is up, they could walk away IIRC. Valve did say they would listen to an aquisition offer, and there are a lot of synergies with their business practices.
