Making HD games is a risky business. They limit their liabilities by paying for games they feel can improve their HW and SW sales without risking large losses. The timed exclusives and money spent on multi-plat deals will never produce unforseeable losses at years end. Buying EA would mean every penny they have made this gen and more. 4-5 Billion? BW alone was 680m when EA bought them. Have EA had a year in the black this gen? Natal is risky enough.
