For the former, none, only the interview with NIS staff that says that SCEA won't allow visual novels in the US...

The second is self descriptive...

It's like people say ... 

No evidence, no case ... 

I don't need to provide you with it. It's on this very site. They announced backward compatibility, and now they sell you the games. If you already own the disc, it's useless.

And there is evidence, but it is on a site I boycott, so unless you're alright with me quoting the forums or providing the keywords, I will not link to it...

I would feel bad for Microsoft since they bought a company that only knows how to make shovelwares.

At least the glorious third party support will be worth it. Except Naughty Dog. They are perfect.

I know who it is your poking at ...  

@OT Not much as I hope Microsoft isn't stupid enough to ruin a good business and brand ...

I poke out at their double standards, not their first party studios. But they do suck, except for ND...

Id ask myself how did MS bought a Japanese company in the first place? then someone would hit me in the head again and I went to sleep again.

They did the same way they'd buy any other company, with a truckload of cash...

I would laugh that a smaller company bought the bigger one.

You're not messing with the Studio. You're messing with the whole company. This is the same company that was able to bail out Greece if they wanted and the same company that has the money to annex Tokyo. 

 

Sony Corp is currently bigger then MS Corp. It may change in the next few years. And of course MS makes more money then Sony. But to acquire Sony Corp would be absolutely massive.

It would be like GM buying Toyota. More then doubling your employment, revenues, etc.

It is not. If you're referring to staff, then it's not a problem. MS literally dwarves Sony in everything except staff numbers.

I would laugh because its not possible. Japan has laws in place protecting certain major corporations from international buyouts last I read. Then I would probably quit gaming, or go pc gaming.

Those laws protect key firms like carmakers. Sony is not under that protection.

The real question is, would they use the Xbox brand or the Playstation brand for gaming :-O

Hopefully the Xbox brand. I prefer it's aesthetic to Sony's bubblyness. I enjoyed Metro and shunned XMB and OS X...
