What if Mirosoft buys EA?

wat do u think will happen, it would be cool but wat does that mean for the ps3? tell me wat u think

Impossible...EA is bigger than you think, there are so many different branches to that company, also they would be losing money if they had to hold exclusivity to Microsoft only, they make more cash selling to all consoles.

It's possible, but that would be almost like shooting themselves in the foot.Some of you guys don't understand that the competition between MS,Sony and Nintendo is what keeps the quality level high. Look at what happend when the NFL sold the exculsive rights to the Madden series and knocked 2K sports out of the picture!!! Every single Madden game has been total garbage since then. IF MS bought EA, it would be the beginning of the end for console gaming!!!:(....I think that might have been a little to dramatic but you guys get my drift!!! lol

Every single Madden game has been total garbage since then.

Well, if you actually think that Madden has been any good...I can say the same thing to you.:lol:

But does MS Care? See thats where I go when I think about this. MS would in effect own so many licenses it may very well end the console war. EA has bought so many developers over the last 6-7 years that 3rd party would shrink a good 30-40%.

While Developers may disband and form new companies MS would still in effect OWN the licenses and be forced to sell them to developers with Exclusive Rights. You Eliminate EA, Make the Xbox Audiance much Larger, and perhaps even end Sony, and Nintendo. I mena EA is pretty much the bread and butter of the Wii and all of a sudden it disappears?

While I doubt a sale will ever happen just because of the scope of the transaction, I mean geez EA bought Bioware alone for 1 billion dollars! thats just 1 developer of dozens inside of EA. It sure is an interesting rumor to surface up to speculate on. Quite fun actually.

lol MS could pay EA cash, and it will be pocket change. I hope MS buys EA, then it would put those guys over at EA to work. MS has been a VERY good company when it comes to games, i.e. Halo, GOW...all the power to them.
