| themanwithnoname said: I find it hilarious that people keep insisting Microsoft should've bought BioWare. A) They weren't worth the money EA bought them for. B) Their games don't sell enough to make a huge difference anyway. and... C) lol at Old Republic costs EDIT: btw, is there a point to this thread other than "haha, 360 doesn't have as many exclusives as the other consoles?" If not, I don't know why I bothered commenting. |
Wait. Isn't your law backwards? Doesn't the probability of the comment "America =/= the world" approach 1 as a NPD thread gets longer? Or is it the sarcastic sort of comment like "right, because America = the world" that you're law is referring to?
As to the topic. Yeah, well one blow up/meltdown because of ME2 going to PS3 =/= the meltdowns about Final Fantasy XIII going (simultaneos release in the west) multi.
As to the Bioware purchase thing: perhaps Microsoft thought that by owning most of the rights to ME1 they pretty much had the whole franchise sown up even with Bioware going to a multiplat publishing house. Obviously if they made such an assumption they were a little naive. OTOH if they weren't fussed about ME going bi-console because on console they will always own the definitive franchise it kinda diminished the attractiveness of buying the whole company.
