I remember hearing that Japan would never let an non-Japanese company buy one that is Japan based. Not sure how true it is, but somewhat plausible.

Regardless out of the big three console manufacturers, Microsoft is the one in the best financial position to buy both of them and owning Capcom would certainly help them in the Japanese market.

Although I dont want M$ to buy either of them....

Well, that's true, however, since MS has a branch in the Japan, they can.

You don't actually think that counts do you?  It's the country of origin of the company, not whether it has a branch.
