| Marteds said: No, Square Enix may have posted a loss but they are far from being closed down. Besides most Square Enix audience are Japanese people who game on Nintendo and Sony platforms. Finally the Xbox 360 doesn't sell well enough in Japan for Microsoft to warrant a purchase of Square Enix. |
If Microsoft wants to go after the Japanese market, then it makes sense for them to buy Square-Enix. Unless one wants to believe, "If Microsoft does poorly in region X, they should not bother with it", buying Square-Enix would make sense. I am NOT saying they should do this, mind you, just the reason you stated is all the more reason for them to buy Square-Enix.
