i hope m$ does it, they need to make a big splash somewhere too let their supporters of the xbox brand that they are truly in this for the long haul. getting all of ea's catalog of games only on xbox would help it launch their next system with a broader lineup and exclusive one at that.

You do realize Hypothetically Speaking if MS did this godforbid... the PlayStation brand would be gone right?

Not gone, just severely weakened. No single third party has the influence in the gaming market to cripple a console brand. Not EA, not Activision. The EA of the past would have. And half of Activision only makes PC games, anyway.
