we know that last year microsoft studios listend to it fans and not only created 4 new studios  and bought a terrific developer Twisted pixels .....

my question is Who do you think will microsoft buyout next ? or open another new studio and where would that location be that you think it will be ??

I think microsoft should buy Remedy and another developer

and open 2 japanese studios in my opinion

choose: Sega, Capcom, Konami or Square-enix.

Lol in your dreams. 

Well........... i know it won't happen.

But i would take Sega, Capcom and Konami aswell.

That way in terms of Sega i get all future Sonics, Virtua Fighters and Virtua Tennis's (and of course possible sequels to classics like Shenmue, Streets of Rage and Jet Set Radio ect)

Capcom.......... well, all future Street Fighters, Resident Evils & Devil May Crys (with the possibility again of sequels to classics like Dino Crisis, Onimusha & Darkstalkers ect)

And Konami? well, if i could play the entire back catalogue of Castlevania games........ that ALONE would be enough to warrant a purchase........ but throw in MGS for example and you are buzzing.

I would obviously have said Nintendo too of course.

But they are still very much in the game console wise.

Since THQ seems to be going belly up: Volition (Saint's Row, Red Faction) and Vigil Games (Darksiders) are interesting

They should open a shell company in Japan called Tfosorcim. They'll be more welcomed.

i got to admit that would be quite intresting seeing thq and it studios microsoft first party intresting

what do you mean a shell company

Twisted Pixel was a great purchase because they've given MS some great IPs. They are also one of the most innovative indie studios we've seen over the years.

I don't see the point of purchasing Remedy. They spent years on Alan Wake and didn't deliver anything particularly outstanding. In both reviews and sales. I enjoyed the game but not enough to suggest the purchase of the studio.

Japanese gamers appear to be shifting towards handheld platforms more than ever. If you take a look at Sony they don't create many games geared towards Japanese gamers either. Their platform just gets more exclusives from Japanese studios.

I'd definitely like to see MS come out with more AAA exclusives. But I don't think they need to buy or create studios to accomplish that.
