They can’t compete then lol. MS can buy anything Sony can 100x over, if they wanted to.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
Just the way MS likes it. Screw consumers, or choice. Screw free market, or free will for that matter. You will be assimilated.
Typical American style, brutally pounding the little guy into oblivion while crying foul.
If it’s Japan, then you can forget it. Hostile takeovers are getting blocked. Rules are very strict their especially for Foreign companies like Microsoft. If Sony buys there a Japanese pub then Microsoft and it’s lowlife politicians can do nothing about it.
I mean, Sony is paying other companies to keep their games off other consoles and has been doing it for generations. Seems par for the course.
Except that doesn't apply to Bungie and probably many more... there is more to an acquisition than pure monetary gain. Although it is a large portion of the equation. I think many underestimate the other factors.
Wh dont they buy? They have bethesda for what 2 years, 3? Buying AB. It s known to public.
They re crying about Japan publisher for years. Tried to buy nintendo lol.
Market still doesnt want xbox. Why s that?
Are you saying Microsoft / Xbox doesn't?
I mean buying a publisher is just the same thing in a different form.
Why do you people reply to ghostz? You know it's a blatant troll that's not interested in actual discussion. Just block and enjoy not seeing its crap again.

This is what microsoft and xbots continue to believe despite 20 years of continuous L’s. They are so desperate to stay relevant and save face they would rather waste 70 billion to prolong the inevitable.
This isn’t like windows.. microsoft can’t monopolise this industry the way they did the desktop space, they will continue to fail until they have nothing left to buy and then implode harder than zune,mixer and kinect combined!

Because they are desperate.
Naaa Xbox went all out during the 360 generation and when PlayStation got back on top, Xbox / Msft didn't like getting a taste of their own medicine... that is my perspective.
Now Microsoft want to do something that they believe Sony cannot, so there is no chance of retaliation on a similar scale.
But what happens when they lose anyway.
The only thing I recall MS paying for were COD marketing rights during 360 days. What am I forgetting?
Phil Spencer. Sure we know one of his balls is crammed down a former poster's throat
They also engage in buying exclusives, which only became a bad thing when they got outbid.
Can't compete? Anticompetitive!!
Mass effect (series would've been excl if not for EA buying BioWare), Bioshock, Titanfall (permanent exclusive)
