Lionhead games sell more consoles then Rare's games do. But Rare is more involved with the new xbox experience and their findings are going to effect the succes of Natal. So from Microsoft's perspective Rare might be more important for them, especially if it works and Natal attracts casual gamers then Rare games are going to get a lot more demand. But right now I have to say I like Lionhead more, mainly because I love WRPG.

Lionhead easily. I love Rare but they're underperforming like crazy.

Lionhead is very valuable for MS. It's the type of studio that gives the brand a high profile and generates hype.

 Seeing as how I  hated Fable, and that I sold my Gamecube to buy an Xbox when Rare was bought. I will have to go with Rare

Lionhead, they make better current gen games than Rare. Fable 2 is one of the best wrpg this gen. Milo and Fable III will be even better.

I don't care for Rare at all. I liked Fable 2 a lot so I say Lionhead.
