What third party (or was third party) game is Microsoft going to get next?

I also agree that I don't think MS will do anything as far as game acquisition. The idea MS does not care about money and could just sink money into something that is losing money because they can is just idiocy, pure and simple. You do not get as big as MS by just burning money and that's what Xbox is.. it's a money pit. MS has to keep investors happy and that trumps whatever random MS fanboys may think. 

Xbox division has been making a profit since 2008. Yes, they lost money on the xbox division before 2008, but what happened in the past is done and over. All they can do is keep making profits. Also, Sony should be the ones that worry the most. Losing 2 billion dollars last quarter when the company is nearly bankrupt. Sony isn't going to be here for long if this keeps up. It is offical that the Japanese government will no longer support Sony , so if they go bankrupt thats the end for them.

However Sony's Playstation has been making money... so worst that will happen is Sony cuts off the divisions that a dragging Sony down... TV"s and Mobile for instance.  The Playstation brand is very strong and profitable, Sony will do whatever it takes to remain that way! I feel more confindent in the Playstation brand than I do Xbox for sure.

As of 2008 they have been making money? This article would goes a long way in disproving that.
