If this happened a year ago, I would've agreed with you. But lately it seems MS has lost its stomach for personally backing developers. Look at Bungie and Bizarre and to a lesser extent, Bioware. MS has seemed content in letting MS Game Studios shrink more and more towards irrelevance. Then again, I guess that's all the more reason why they would snatch him up and fund a studio for him.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
