Don't EA and MS not really like each other because MS insist on using XBL infrastructure when EA want to use their own?

[phillai]

Oh well.
Wishful thinking.
Just thought it might be Bill Gates's way of grabbing one of the biggest shares of the console market before it all gets snapped up...

Sony and Rockstar to make the ultimate game - Getaway! Grand Theft Auto: Moss Side...

Sony to buy Rare.

[olly]

Why would Microsoft and EA merge? They're both very healthy, powerful companies.

[JRMacumber]

I could see MS buying up Bioware, easily.

Could they buy one of Sega's development houses? If so, Smilebit would be another worthy purchase.

[Sigur]

I could see MS buying Rare.

[phillai]

Microsoft could buy almost anyone out...
All it would take is for some bright software company to sniff out Bill Gates cheque book and pen and add another nought to the final figure!

The ones he wouldn't and couldn't definitely buy out is Nintendo as they have too much pride at stake and hate to lose the console wars to an American...

Or rather too much money in the bank to give a monkey's about any offer from Microsoft.

Have you pair been on the glue or something? MS bought Rare months ago and therefore is ludicrously unlikely that anyone else (especially Sony) will acquire them anytime soon.

MS and EA could quite possibly be the most vile and reprehensible combination since sausage and orange sandwhiches.

Exactly!!!
Just imagine if that happened? They'd have the whole American market to them selves with their non-stop sports ****e year after year.

[Sarkster]

Im sure it means nothing at all. But I had a dream last night (no doubt fuelled by Sega/Namco) that Square Enix merged with Treasure...

****, did I visit Team Xbox by accident?

This thread truly is utterly mind destroyingly ****. I'd sooner read another 10 page Edge debate.
