next news is that MS is buying Sony lool

X-station4 will be comming to the stores near you ;)

Fuck business strategy, what r u, a fukn business man? And yes its so much easier to shit bag MS bcoz they stole Nintendo's prize Rare. EA another story coz at least they don't sell exclusively to one system.
Tell me where did u read this? A business blog, hmm. Dude that guys smokin some wiked shit most likely

Finally hmm.

Disclosure: I'm long ERTS and now own TTWO calls, so admittedly, I have an interest in a higher bid (especially from someone other than ERTS). But it is in no way ridiculous to conclude that TTWO could, and should, be bought for a price much higher than it's current share price (high $24) and offer price (~$25.75).

If it were on 360 only, that would limit to what they could do.

For me GTA SA was the pinnacle of the GTA series. GTA IV dissapointed me.

If it were on PS3 they could do so much more and don't denie it.

If they were going to buy them, they would have done it before GTA4 launched.

Imagine the pain of stealing GTA4 right before it is launched and canceling the PS3 version. That would have almost ended the HD console war.

I don't see this happening. Sony and MS need to concentrate on profit. They both know they are fighting for a distant second plance, and Nintendo will the the only one rolling in cash this generation.

 You do realize that both Rockstar - the star studio and the fans would hate them for it right?

It would kill them if they did that, not help them.

OMG if this happens, i am 100% sure that MS will win next generation :)

Wonder if they would stop releasing GTA on the PS3 - given it represents around 40% of the companys sales profit - is it worth making a huge loss just to buy some over hyped game in a shrinking market ??
Nintendo is looking to take over 50% market , the Ps3 is catching the 360 and X360 is dropping market % every week, buy the time GTA5 arrives it will be around 50:50 X360:Ps3. Take two's will take a huge loss without the PS3 game sales , the company would be a huge finantial loss for the buyer !.

Mario Kart Wii is selling far better than GTA4 ever did on 360 or Ps3 - at current differential Mario Kart Wii will have outsold both platform totals in one years time.! Of course Mario Kart DS has allready sold over 11 million.

The trick with taking over a games company is to do it while they are emerging - not after they have peaked - profit will only fall from that point.
When Sony bought evolution studios their timing was spot on - small company low price , but motorstorm pacifica will easily sell 5 Million and the first motortorm was the PS3's top selling game and package deal from early on.

GTA 5 most probably coming next generation . Imagine how many XBOX will move...

Why don't they just get it over with and buy all the western developers? EA, Ubisoft, Take-Two, Activision Blizzard...

I hope they don't.
