Well, while I do agree with you, they just showed what their game plan is (the acquisition of 5 new studios) and it does look promising.So while I agree on the premise, I dont agree 100% with the conclusion.Plus, we will get a new Battletoads man.BATTLETOADS!

Sure acquiring 4 new studios is a step in the right direction, but two out of the four were already making Microsoft exclusive titles, Forza Horizon and State of Decay respectively, so them being acquired won't amount to more exclusives. Compulsion Games' track record is far from interesting, and I'm not expecting great things from them. With that being said, I applaud Microsoft for acquiring Ninja Theory, that studio is so talented and unique.

I never really played Battletoads, my friend. :)

Acquiring them most likely means that MS is going to invest more aggressively on them, which in turn means that their team will grow in size, and they will probably be able to tackle at least one big project and start another at once, or maybe two at once.Plus wasnt Playground tackling another project already, that isnt Forza?

What i meant is, I think we can expect more st the very least from the studios that have already been making MS games for a while.
