MS has enough money to spent on exclusive deals. Sony just can't mess with MS moneywise. MS could buy Square Enix, just because they feel like to. I mean 45 billion USD for yahoo. Square Enix would be a smaller fish :D I know they won't buy SE, but they could if they wanted to. *edit* there is just no company that could convince a 3rd party developer just with the money. MS pays just too good. |
That's not the way it works, I'm afraid. They could only buy it if that would mean more value for the shareholders in the long run. It's impossible for Microsoft to earn money on a Square Enix take-over, so in practice they can't but SE. The 360 is not their core business anyway, totally not comparable with the Yahoo case.
