For Those who don't Know Microsoft is going on a Shopping spree Buying up 3rd Party Publishers creating arms race in the gaming Industry. I wonder how you guys feel about that? My biggest concern is the Japanese Publishers and I think Now Sony has no choice but to also do the same thing.
The Last thing anyone would want is if Microsoft were to buy Capcom, That would not only suck for gamers but would hurt all of those IP's since Microsoft doesn't have a good track record of brining back IP's. If Sony Purchased Capcom, I think it would be a better fit imo and I think with their close relationship, I think it's given that Sony would buy them out. It would suck ether way or the other though.
What are your thoughts?

I don't like it very much, either. It reminds me of Disney buying up as many IPs as possible. Nobody likes a monopoly. The future of gaming innovation's been with independent developers for a while now. I haven't felt a need to buy a AAA game, or even a game from a well-known developer, in a while now.
For Capcom, I think Sony buying it would be a better deal. They seem to be a lot more hands-off with things than Microsoft, but I haven't looked at them for a while. Microsoft got us Banjo: Nuts and Bolts rather than a proper third Banjo-Kazooie game, and I've frankly never been Microsoft's target demographic for gaming, so I'm not huge on them. But then again, Capcom isn't very good at running itself, either, and wound up letting spite beat out potential profits, so it might not hurt for them to get bought out...just not by a company like Microsoft. Unless they start changing their tune reeeeeeal fast about what nerds want in their games.

The amount of Cooperate Cheerleading I have seen this past week from the green side was just troubling. I don't get the excitement at all for a 2 trillion dollar company buying the world's biggest publisher that always released games on multiple devices. I just hope Microsoft doesn't touch any Japanese Publisher, That would be bad for those IP's since most Xbox gamers like Multi-Player centric gamers and the Japanese don't really care about Xbox at all. I really didn't want Sony doing the same but Now they might have no choice now which Capcom and Square-Enix would be the 2 they would buy since they have a relationship with Sony.
