Microsoft is about the only game related company I could conceive that could possibly purchase them. Unfortunately they are about one of the last companies that would. The ones whom I think would buy the company are the ones whom can't. It doesn't make sense from their perspective to purchase a failing company like that, it isn't in their style to buy companies with the idea of turning them around.
However there is one scenario where purchasing TT makes sense and that is if Microsofts ambitions were to spin off the Entertainment and devices division into a seperate entity. This is scuppered by the fact that they recently created a new campus building for EDD in Microsoftville.
