This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take the largest western AAA publisher in house, It will move them from being a revenue underdog in the games industry to being neck and neck with Sony overnight, it will make them the largest video games employer in North America by far, and it massively strengthens their mobile games position.

I can’t think of a single good reason for them to back out. Microsoft nearly made back the purchase price of the deal in one financial quarter, the state of the general economy is irrelevant.
