The OR guys have said they have no interest in consoles, it wouldn't make any sense. If they're getting bought by anyone it's going to be Valve, but that's also unlikely.

But if MS bought them out, that stance would change.

You know they have to want to be bought out right? Microsoft can't just buy them on a whim. They've stated that consoles are too weak for their tech, why would they agree to a buyout? 

Money talks! If the price is right they would probably sell no matter if their original plans doesn't match the buyers. Plus if the OR tech is too powerful for consoles then it can be adapted. MS probably still release it on PC and have the sister version for the X1. Think of Gaikai. They weren't looking to be bought out but Sony coughed up the money and took Gaikai a different direction.

This would only make sense if OR needed the money. A hot product like that should have investors lining up around the block to pour money in. They don't need Microsoft or an company to buy them out.
