Realistically, what is the biggest franchise that Microsoft can buy out that would give them first place in console sales?

Microsoft already has three big blockbuster franchises. Halo, Gears of War and now Minecraft. However, I don't think this will be enough for Microsoft to be first place. What franchise could achieve this? I think overall, only COD will be able to do this. Maybe GTA, but that isn't a yearly title.

Nothing. Period.

 

One game does not make a console #1

Halo says hi...

However I think it's going to a number of games. COD would have a massive impact, along with games like GTA or straight just buying out EA.

Says hi to 24 million sales vs the PS2's 160 million lol!!!  Learn to read I said #1.  

xbox arrived towards the end of the ps2 generation. by that time ps2 had a huge lead. theres no  way any consoles , could  reach that amount in one year or so. so not really a fair comparison
