i don't see it, MS seems to have an aversion to having first party developers and as much as i love rock band, the genre is in major fatigue mode right now.  not exactly a good investment imo.

They aren't just a rock band company anymore.  Try Dance Central and come back to me.

dance central is irrelevant as there is really only two ways that franchise will go.

1. dance central is a financial success meaning a sequel is made which is a free exclusive for MS as no one else has the kinect interface.

2. dance central is a financial failure thus meaning MS would lose money for buying them and really a sequel isn't need.

either way it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for MS to buy 'em.
