I bet the sales right now won't even justify those purchases, so why not pay another few billion for Crytek and Capcom, because the whole xbox division will make enough profits to justify it. Capcom and Crytek are already struggling with a much wider market. Imagine if they have only the xbox market available... Won't be smart for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony |
The smartest thing to do for anyone is bid on the Ips and leave the talent. 800 employees in Crytek and once bought they would be cut to a normal developing studio or else the company is paying tons of money on inefficient employees and redundant positions. Property tax on buildings, maintenance, everything that comes with buying property. It would be a waste of money to touch either company in its entirety.
I'm sure timesplitters Ip can be obtained on the cheap even though it won't be big in helping the fanbase. The engine would be pretty much useless for any first party. Crisis and homefront would probably fetch a pretty penny and most likely only be worth it if the companies make it a franchise like AC or CoD
