I was never a fan of the Activision deal to be honest, not only do they not make many games I care about, but I always suspected that gigantic ass price tag would screw them over, one way or another. Seems I was right. I wish that Xbox had gone for a much cheaper publisher acquisition instead like buying WB Interactive when the owner was looking to sell, or one of the JP pubs. Instead they bought an overpriced double edged sword that seems to have screwed the whole Xbox division over by causing the bean counters like Amy Hood to start penny pinching the division.

Thank god MS hasn’t bought a single JP dev, publisher. And I hope they never ever will. Look at what happened to Tango. That’s why I never cheered on SEGA deal. SEGA is better off staying independent. 

I was thinking this yesterday when the news broke about Bethesda. I'm so glad MS didn't buy any Japanese publishers and honestly, if I was any pub or dev in Japan I wouldn't even consider any offer from MS no matter how much they offer, especially after Tango.
