Microsoft may be looking to buy Capcom?

**PlaguedOne**

It's not a fact, so don't go running to all your friends yelling about how Microsoft is buying Capcom out.

Will it happen? It could. Personally, I don't see it happening... at least not in the near future. I certainly wouldn't enjoy it, though. I'd rather not have to buy an XBox just to follow Rockman.

Probably not, seeing as how Capcom is doing most of the MM games on Nintendo DS, and the Wii has possiblities for a very unique styles of games...I think that Capcom will stick with nintendo/I don't want to buy a Xbox...

I hope that nintendo pursues the purchase of capcom. i can't think of any games that could come off of this potential new Microsoft/Capcom get together.

if microsoft gets capcom, say goodbye to all the Playstation & Nintnendo games capcom will ever make, I bet you microsoft will make a handheld just so they can say "hey you can play megaman on your microsoft Pocket Xbox" (just some random name i thought up). If microsoft gets capcom, theres going to be rioting, especially if they get rid of all the megaman games for nintendo & sony systems that are in the works & are on the way (Im thinking of IHX2 and any nintendo rockman if they ever make them)

Anyone at Microsoft remember what happened to Rare? They bought them up, and next thing you know, the quality of Rare's games takes a nosedive. If Microsoft wants to improve its standing, they need to make an honest effort instead of throwing money and authority around.

Could Microsoft buy Capcom. Maybe. Capcom would only go kicking and screaming, so there's only a small chance of it happening.

Well, I'm not surprised that Microsoft is interested in buying Capcom. They want a monopoly over everything so that they can squeeze as much money out of their customers as possible, after all.

But if Capcom actually sells anytime soon, I'll eat my helmet. From what I've seen, Capcom's one of those companies that actually bother to look at long-term gains and investments, so they wouldn't be so quick to sell out.

I doubt they will. That would be too small of a area for the games. Plus I'm not getting a 360 for viewtiful joe 3! (and they will make that game)
But that's not the point. The point is that capcom won't sell.

No, here's what would happen. Im sure Microsoft will not focus on the Rockman saga one bit, instead focusing on Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and I know for sure another Dead Rising (which wouldn't bother me), but if Microsoft bought out Capcom....im sure we won't see anymore Rockman on the DS or PSP (if it will ever happen again) or even on any other platform Sad

....but if Microsoft did by out Capcom, im sure we will see all the retro Rockman games on the Live Arcade service....bleh... Sad

that's my feeling at least on all of this....let's hope this never happens!
