IT was already published in a CNN article that one company that is NOT in the running to buy T2 is Microsoft. Microsoft simply stated that Take 2 is a company that generates its profits for making games on MULTIPLE platforms, MS spokesperson said these exact words "Microsoft would not bid for a thrid party development company" I mean sure they could buy out take 2 only for the GTA franchise but that would be plain stupid, why pay billions on one franchise. Dont get me wrong, Im a 360 fan and I love my 360 but I actually do think logically. and it makes more sense that ubi soft, activision or other game devs would buy T2 NOT microsoft. 

 

I find it funny how lemms fail to use simpl business logic. They seem to think that Microsoft has a money machine and unlimited money to do whatever they want lol, you have to realize that more money also means more debt and more expenses. Sure MS is loaded but come on, it takes a lot more than deep pockets to just go out and spend billions on companies everyday on a whim. hell if that was the case MS would have bought out sony computer entertainment LOOOONG ago.

If memory serves me, you're a cow, so quit with the "I'm a 360 fan and I love my 360" BS please. T2 will probably be bought out in smaller chunks, which is more profitable for them. It would be downright foolish if this was to pass without MS getting involved somehow.

I agree, I never once saw a cow saying that Sony should buy T2. Not one thread or post did I ever see a cow claim this..... oh wait.....

You do remember that Microsoft bought Bungie, right? Granted T2 is likely too big to buy.....but.....dont forget one key thing.

Microsoft is not only about the 360. There are many millions of Windows PC gamers out there

While your point is well taken, MS is looking at a much bigger picture than you... As in, it isn't just "Exclusive GTA" to them - it's a full host of development firms. If it's worth the long term investment, they'll buy it - you aren't any better qualified to assess its value or MS's motivations than the idiots you're deriding, despite having business 101 under your belt.

Things change and they could change their minds and decide that it would be worth a purchase and yes they could buy on a whim. Sony is a much bigger company than T2 and MS would never want to buy Sony. To get Sony you would need atleast 60B and T2 is only about 2, plus T2 supposely wants to sell itself. A few year ago Comcast tryed to take over Disney and I was watching CNBC and they were talking about it. One of the guys asked do you think Microsoft might consider buying Disney? I will give you the same answer that he got but replace Disney with T2. I don't know if they would want to buy them but if Microsoft ever decided that they want T2, they will have T2.
