Wouldn't make sense for MS financially. They're better off using that money to create more exclusives in-house than trying to buy 3rd party exclusives, especially a series like RE that's already in decline. RE is not going to move consoles for MS in Japan, despite what people in the West may think. Gamers in Japan are already moving away from console gaming. And most of those remaining will only buy one console. MS is at a disadvantage to begin with in Japan. One big exclusive on the XB1 is not going to sway a significant number of gamers to jump ship from Nintendo or Sony, when both of those consoles will offer an extensive library of Japanese-centric games that Microsoft just cannot match.
