MS doesnt have much more money than sony, they are almost equal get informed. bill gates is the one with the 50 billion dollars and hes giving it away to buy himself into heaven not buying studios with it. and sony has much more assets and those become very useful in company buyouts and is a big advantage for sony.Me_Ur_Daddy_

and if MS bought take two you would see a big migration of employees from rockstar, they are all sony fanboys and MS knows this. i saw the interview with shane kim about company buyouts and he said it can cause more problems than solve for them and that it doesnt guarantee the talent will stay, thats why they are scared to buy take two.Me_Ur_Daddy_

It won't be a GTA4 announcement it'll be a "give us more money" announcement.DaysAirlines

Look,
Take Two owns Rockstar Games that owns Rockstar North that make the GTA games, correct?

If Take Two ends up putting itself on the market up for grabs, Microsoft will swoop in (because it has the most money (much more than Sony / EA have)) and if Microsoft owns GTA, they can decide exclusivity for it.

*shrug* I don't understand why some people go "LOL NEVER IN THIS LIFETIME GTA IS TOO BIG" ? If Microsoft did buy Take Two, then they wouldn't need to maximize profits from GTA by putting it multiplat, they'd gain a lot more having it exclusive to 360.

Good day.

interesting seeing how for the ps3's games, FF13 and MGS4, this doesnt apply...hmmm i wonder i mean people buy systems for 1 game...also there is a better chance of Sony buying them, if anyone does, because they have been associated with eachother since PS1 era and Sony brought them to life like they did with capcom

The big announcement will be-- DUM DUM DUMMMM...

Yeah and I am saying that, that is true for MGS4, FF13 and even GTA4(if it was still exclusive).

MS doesnt have much more money than sony, they are almost equal get informed. bill gates is the one with the 50 billion dollars and hes giving it away to buy himself into heaven not buying studios with it. and sony has much more assets and those become very useful in company buyouts and is a big advantage for sony.Me_Ur_Daddy_

God I hope not.

I still think the second conference they have tonight will focus on first party.

Probably Halo 3 Beta and HOPEFULLY (for my sake :P) a Banjo-Threeie trailer or gameplay demonstration.

Microsoft said theyr not buying ,and i also recently read that Take-two might not be for saleGsSanAndreas

Take Two is a public company. So by definition it is for sale to the highest bidder. Ever heard of a hostile takeover?

Replace 360 with PS3 and MS with Sony, also after that replace GTA4 with FF13 and MGS4.

If Sony owned GTA4 they would sell it only on the PS3, and would sell PS3s by doing so, and make money...if MGS4 was exclusive to PS3 it would sell PS3s...if FF13 was exclusive to the PS3 it would sell PS3s...is that clear or should I just stop trying?Kahuna_1

Umm... inform yourself. MS is worth five times what Sony is worth. Sony is bigger in ASSETS, but that's because Sony has a whole lot of manufacturing plants. However, Sony's brand value is really, really low. They have 1.5 billion in profits, against Microsoft's 13 billion. 

Who doesn't have much more money, you said? Purchasing Take-Two for Microsoft is frankly nothing.

But what about the fact that MS announced that it wasn't going to buy T2?

"We could never launch an acquisition bid at a third party publisher," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft (Charts) Game Studios.
