Ubisoft as Take 2 "savior"?

[Just_Ben]

There is a news article on a german webpage about the bid of EA for Take 2.

They are writing that Forbes is speculating that Ubisoft could help Take 2 against EA.

I couldn't find an English article for it with news.google.com, but my guess is that they will come.

Beside the fact that EA owns 17% of Ubisoft (what is not loved by Ubisoft), does it make sense in a business matter. My personal guess is, yes for both (like Forbes is speculating) .

Ubisoft does not have a "sports" devision, Take 2 does. It is the only of a wester developer that has somewhat success against EA Sports. Sport games is a big market (think about Madden, Fifa, PES and such). Something Ubisoft will most likely love to get a foot in for a cheap price.

Ubisoft gives developers more freedom than EA. I think thats something Take 2 would benefit from.

Ubisoft want to get more "Game-Movie" things, and a GTA movie is definitely an option (GTA is a strong brand).

So both would benefit from it, is my guess.

Is a Ubisoft-Take2 partnership better than an EA-Take2 partnership? In business matter and in matter for us gamers?
