Feels like a gigantic waste of money but as others have said it does feel like more of an MS move, rather than a move for the games division. MC itself won't do much for the Xbox, so it wouldn't make sense that they're buying it solely to make it exclusive. They'll keep in on mobile/PC, and Xbox and in that case I could see it working out (still won't help X1 though). A potential MC2 won't do nearly as well as the phenomenon that was MC. It's the same "trying to capture lightning in a bottle" situation that stuff like the Wii U, and Kinect 2.0 have suffered from.
