........Can you fanboys tell a bit about it. If it is true, well, I will hate M$ more than ever. Try to take controlthe console market with the way like that ? Well that`s the most dirtiest tactic ever........ That`s not business, that`s monoply with easy way.....
I never heard of MS trying to buy Capcom but he Nintendo one is sort of true.
Before MS got into the gaming industry, Bill Gates was asked if he would a buy game developer like Nintendo rather than just start their own. Bill said that if Nintendo was for sale that he would indeed purchase them. This got back to the Nintendo's President (before Iwata) and said he would never sell the company to anybody.
It really does not matter if the Nintendo President would not sell. Nintendo is a publicly held company. All MS would of had to do is buy up enough stock to have a say in the company or enough gain control. In 2005, Nintendo bought up any outstanding shares to prevent this from happening.
Nintendo, though not in first for a while, is one of the longest still really alive video game company. I think it was a smart choice to try to buy nintendo. i mean, i think microsoft wishes they had the wii right now (not that they dont want the 360 but look at all that money!)
Microsoft couldn't get Nintendo so it bought Rare... and that hasn't turned out as well as it should have. As for the Capcom thing, that rumor went on for a while, but Capcom would be stupid to make that deal especially since the 360 hasn't caught on in Japan.
If they bought Capcom they would win this war hands down....i have a feeling they are going to buy someone big because they didnt let the makers of Halo for nothing they have something big in the works i wouldnt be surprised if they tried to buy Rockstar or Capcom. The way things are going now Capcom being xbox 360 only wouldnt hurt them to much as long as they could work on DS and PSP as well.
They tried to buy Nintendo a long time ago but that fell through because Nintendo didn't want to sell out.
That's no reason to hate MS, btw. It is just business, you gotta do what you can to get to the top.

that why i i hate MS they did with OS market and are know trying to do it with video game market.
But yet we all still use windows. Because Macs cost too much and you can't use all your programs on them.
true but that doesn't mean i like it. seriously look at vista it basiccally looks different and is that same thing as XP but makes you upgrade to alot of crap you don't need

I know....I just wish Steve Jobs would go ahead and have a new OC designed for IBM systems...Think of the money he would make
it think they would have big problem with capcom as that means buying nvidia or convincing them to sell capcm and ms doesn't exactly like nvidia that much after nvidia making millions form ms by not dropping the xbox's gpu price
