The best way to win is to buyout everything. :roll: That way the consumers lose.

as long as nintendo is around that wont happen. Nintendo is bigger than EA and doesnt depend on their games to sell consoles, and I think EA makes more money as a third party publisher than they would if they made a console.

Does this make them bigger than Activison Blizzard? Well that was short lived :? :| I think in a few years we will see EA and AB as the only 3rd party developers when they buy out every other company....

EA is not a very worker friendly company either. Google EA and wifes blog and read some of the stuff you find. I used to like EA, but now it seems they don't care as much about the gamers.

That is an analysists assumption, if I am reading the article correctly, and nothing close to official.

if they have all the games bar nintendos then obviously they'll be in the right place to bring a console out, if you wanna play gta and its on an ea console then you'd buy it, halo? you'd buy it, basically EA is trying to buy out everyone.

Exactly what I thought.

From the article that spawned the article: "Mike Hickey, an analyst with Janco Partners, is "convinced" that Take-Two will eventually be acquired. He believes their owned and developed IP make them quite valuable to a suitor."

And from the article that spawned THAT article:

"We surveyed four leading analysts on the topic: Mike Hickey, Michael Pachter, David Cole and Colin Sebastian."
