Yep the multi-plat games are the ones which will be huge and am hyped for them. The more games the merrier as I can play them thanks to rentals. MS buying any of those companies would be huge but come on be a little realistic.
Something like Mass Effect 2 on PS3 would not cause a stir but damn a Kojima 360 exclusive.........heads will roll.
I know MS has lot's of monies but the cost to purchase any one of those studios would easily be close the budget the gaming division has; I think I'm correct in saying Bioware cost something stupid like 800 million to purchase. Imagine what one of those big boys would cost. |
Since the recession is kickin' in, all companies are not as expensive as they were before. Square Enix shares were at a 5-year-low 3 months ago e.g. Especially Japanese developers have a hard time with recession + strong yen. MS still has that 25 billion USD cash-pile they are sitting on + 3.7 billion they borrowed for acquisitions. But anyway, it won't happen! ...but they could.
The best thing that could have ever happened to MS was the failed Yahoo-Deal. Lucky MS. (But for some strange reason MS-Haters bring this up to show that MS is not as powerful as it used to be. Gotta love cyber Che Guevaras.)

and ms just borrowed 2.75 billion in loans for acquisations

Whats so funny about it? Did my language fail? :D or am I just wrong with the number? I thought they said 3.7 billion.
