Lol. I had the same reaction - very surprised. But i think its a good buy - action adventure is a genre MS is lacking in so this was quite a sensible purchase to plug in the gap. The purchase and establishment of 5 different studios also shows their commitment to game development.
And i think this is a good deal for NT who have occasionally struggled - provided of course that MS keep their promise to allow NT creative freedom.
I did find the purchase of the other studios a bit strange. As some have mentioned both Playground and Undead already make Xbox exclusives so a buy wasn't necessary (especially Undead astheir last game didn't review so great).
I guess the test is to see how these studios go forward and what new games they make
