I would much rather Nintendo buy out Sonys gaming division assets than Microsoft. At least it would be in creative hands.

You see, if MS were to buy a creative company, then MS in turn becomes creative by default. Since, you know, they would employ creative people for their purposes only

 No. Rare has proven otherwise. Microsoft could buy all the creative companies in the world and wouldnt have a creative bone in their bodies simply because as a company they aren't creative. Their goals dont revolve around involving themselves in creativity, but rather owning products ghosts of creative companies once had. Its like having a zombie rather than the living being under your control

Nintendo has entities who could creatively control IP. Rare was better controlled by Nintendo collaboratively than Microsoft. Donkey Kong country, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie? Nintendo gave creative input and watched out for creative control back in those days even though the two companies no longer saw eye to eye

Its the same reason Bungie wanted out from Microsoft. All they want to do is rehash the same game instead of allowing their companies to be creative and develop new content. Its halo forever. 

Id call that job security lol. I wouldn't base all future assumptions on Rare and Rare alone. Fable 1 and 2 were pretty creative. That magic could always come back, hopefully in 2015. Project Spark......this doesn't change your mind in the slightest? MS can easily make or buy a new studio with the explicit instructions to "be creative" ;P
