I'm just kinda bitter thinking about how much the games industry could actuallybe made better with that kinda money (as in how many games could get made with it), that's kind of my problem with it. Could it be financially viable for MS? I honestly don't give a fuck. But from a consumer perspective this investment is completely uselss.
A healthy company buys another healthy company, whoopie, now this healthy company can finally create all those things that it could before (be it themselves or through contracts) but possibly exclude masses of consumers from it that weren't excluded before.
If you have money like this apparently just lying around then take it and invest it in games that otherwise wouldn't be made like Sunset Overdrive or (possibly) Scalebound and I'll happily support your system one day, invest it in stuff like this or the Tomb Raider deal and you can honestly fuck off with the Xbox (and this comes from someone that is normally rather neutral towards that brand and MS).
