Microsoft rumored to buy Activision?

But if they owned the country they maybe could set the wages at their factories , ie it be even less than the poor b*******s are getting now.

Are you seriously suggesting that Call of Duty Kinect wouldn't sell?

I think its pretty obvious that i was talking about Microsoft implementing Kinnect in someway to innovate COD, i cant think of a better or more involving way of refreshing COD by making sure you no longer require any kind of controller, hell you don't even need hand gestures of any kind. As long as you can speak you can SHOUT AT THE TV AS LOUD AS YOU CAN SO KINECT 2 WILL HEAR YOU. You can use shout commands like MOVE FORWARD, TURN RIGHT, SHOOT SHOOT, RELOAD etc. Lol just kidding

Much more likely a Korean or Chinese company would outbid them.

If Sony boxes don't get the modern warfares that's a big deal isn't it? big enough to warrant buying activision though?

[nakamura]

I think it could be perhaps. After all the cost of the console Sony often produce, they need to sell loads to make any money.

Activision to be bought out by....Activision!! OMG!!!!





Not

[Wools]

Not confirmed yet, Activision would need financial backers in order to do it so an outside company could buy the stake.

Although that hold on the company would be tempting, I don’t think Microsoft would buy them. For some reason, I don’t think there’s much of a fit between the two.

Apparently Vivendi is struggling to find a buyer for Activision and may keep it, selling GVT instead.
