Sell my 360.
-
bububu thats bad for the industry because...
because they won't be wasting more money developing games on a more exspensive system?
Or how about they won't be able to sell as many games? lol
-
Not happening.
-
i doubt it will happen, but it would be pretty awesome. It's ok anyways, they are making a bunch of 360 games and it looks like the sony exclusives will be going to the 360 anyhow.
-
Why would you want an independent third party with a long history bought out by one of the console makers?
-
i would want them to be bought so that they could make a better game for less money. This way i don't need to buy a over-priced system when i can just buy thier exclusives on the cheaper better system i own

I'd be pretty stoked, more achievements and rentals for me!

I figure capcom's not stupid enough to sell to MS when MS knows they know they'll get the few other exclusives like DMC4 and capcom wants to sell on more platforms (at least a bunch of shovelware on Wii). This doesn't make sense in any way, and I would kind of be aganist it because there would be no (possibly good) Wii games from capcom.
-
For me there are to ways to look at this. On one hand I wouldn't be bothered by the move personally. Resident Evil 5 is my most anticipated next gen title, and I already decided to buy whatever console it came on. I was going to get it on the 360 since it would be cheaper anyway so a Capcom buyout doesn't really hurt me. I've never been into Mega Man and I'm not greatly interested in DMC so meh. Plus, I'd love to see GAF suicide, especially if the PS3 version of DMC4 was cancelled like next week.
Yet the more logical, sane part of me believes this would be good for Capcom and bad for the industry. Capcom seems to be having a lot of success with the next gen, especially when compared to other Japanese companies. But they're spending so much money on these games that eventually things won't go their way financially. MS would definitely help them by managing the money and keeping them out of the gutter.
The industry would definitely be hurt by this though. Capcom has done a great job being multiconsole (except on Nintendo consoles LULZ). They're been extremely fair to both MS and Sony with respect to handing out titles - DMC for Sony, Lost Planet for 360, RE5 for both. A MS buyout would mean many things that people don't seem to recognize.
-No more Mega Man DS games. Certainly I don't care about that personally - but guys like Drinky/MAF/Himuro/Willco/etc would. Mega Man would also be thrown into the 3D world again, and that probably wouldn't work. Maybe the 2D games would continue on XBLA but that's not guarenteed.
-No Wii support. I would love to see what Capcom could do on the Wii. They've worked wonders on the 360 and PS3 but the Wii seems left out as of right now. Whatever they have in the works for it no doubt rocks, but an MS buyout would kill it.
-Japan. How would Japan gamers react to this? DMC as a series has been on the downhill in Japan in terms of sales, but they would plummet on the 360.
-Monster Hunter PSP. It's been a huge money printer for Capcom recently but if MS buys them it'll disappear.
-
It would be a good first step, but Microsoft needs to buy Konami too to insure total destruction of PS3 and Sony.
How reliable is this rumor BTW?
-
I love me some capcom but I love that they make games for all consoles too.
-
i think it would be fuck awesome for the industry. fuck sony. that's what they need, a smack in the face. they need to get raped from MS and smarten up.
Nintendo too, they could have added a bit more to the wii and still made a profit.

for sure dude, shake some shit up.
who gives a fuck if it's MS? why would you complain about a company trying to win an industry buy making the best for cost system, pushing technology ahead, making awesome games.
I mean FROM the ground up! From developer tools to out-right buying companies. They listened to the dudes from Epic and put more ram in...
