Qwark said: Microsoft seems like the most likely candidate. But even the trillion dollar company can't buy that many big studio's within months. Also I see them going for EA next for Fifa to gain a lot of ground in Europe. Kind a like what Nintendo did with monster hunter all be this a bit more fitting for a company this size to simply buy EA. |
No, EA is a bad buy for any platform-holder. Most of it's IPs are licenced, like FIFA. The licence holders will demand some level of multiplatform (like with MLB: The Show) or move their licence. Also EA makes most of it's money with exploitative gambling tactics, which are currently under scrutiny by many countries. If even some prohibit them, then EA loses a substantial income stream. That all probably means EA will cost much, much more than it is worth for a platform-holder.
