Don't they own mostly mediocre stuff anyway? |
Saint's row, metro 2033, darksiders, company of heroes and warhammer are good series. Red faction is also decent. Those games would add nicely to ms first party. :)

Microsoft should be more worried about making their own stable of first parties. Taking other peoples known franchise hasnt worked for them and this gen proved it.

Thats great, judging by how Sony has handled the situation they've done more with less than Microsoft has done with more. Anyway, when I say stable, I am talking about known titles that Microsoft keeps because of popularity. Nintendo has a stable (with numerous system sellers), Sony has a stable (with one or two system sellers), Microsoft has a handful of games (one of them is a system seller).
