Do you believe that Microsoft will acquire ABK? I think yes, because they have been handing out deals like candy and regulators love to see that type of stuff!
I hope they do. It's always good to make friends in the industry and people need to stick together even if they are uncoordinated to figure out their best art direction and production. It would raise the value of Microsoft quite a bit and I've rarely heard much bad about not that it isn't there.
Not sure at this point, feel like it could go either way. Sony just needs to give up, get a X amount of year contract and use that time to come up with their own CoD like game to compete.
