Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft is a likely bidder for Take-Two takeover - GTA going exclusive?

This shit is bullshit. At some point MS will buy enough talent and seem legitimate, perhaps even respectable but they will forever be known as the thiefs they are ruining other gamers chances of entertainment.
This news makes me hope EA acquire it instead, despite that company having too much market control already.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

well personally i dont care, cause i dont like gta or bioshock, but it would be sad if ms managed to monopolize the video game industry.



LOL the forums would never be the same again. Forget about FFXIII going multiplatform. But going exclusive would be a huge revenue hit.

 

4.2m PS3 copies = a quarter billion revenue.



lol,,I think right now MS has more important stuff to take care of rather than buying a game developing studio.Vista,,google and yahoo merger,,lot's of other issues .

but it's not impossible.



 

 

 

I hope they do.

This is the first I have heard of this. It is most likely not going to happen. 2.5 bil is a steep.



Some people may hate Microsoft for throwing their cash around but you can't fault them for their business strategy. Very few companies could make such an impact on the industry nowadays in such a short time.



I don't think they will, but if they do I don't think people should criticise them for it. Sony has a large stable of first parties they bought out, I don't see people criticising them for that.



Tease.

if they want to buy a company they should buy bungi ,,,imagine halo6 on PS4 lol

 

@outcast,,,why does chun Li's hand in your sig looks like a freakin giant hand(man hand) lol,,,that's weird



 

 

 

not the most rediculous comment ever made. GTA4 part 2 and 3 (e.g. equivalents to Vice City and SA) would likely make back $1.5 billion at laest in revenue. Bioshock 2 will sell 1.5-2 million copies easily enough.

However rediculous it sounds it may be the sports franchises and upsetting EA that would concern MS the most.
