Looks like you beat me by a minute so posting here.
Here we go. Bidding war between Sony and Microsoft I am guessing. Whoever wins, gamers lose.
If all these third parties go first party, we will have to purchase both consoles every gen for games that have no reason being exclusives. I really dont see publishers like SE, Zenimax and Ubisoft struggling with gaming being more profitable than ever.
Oh well, it will be interesting to see if Sony can outbid Microsoft. I highly doubt it, but I am guessing Jim will probably draw the line here and Phil would probably just keep increasing the bid to make it a more expensive purchase than it needs to be.
Not sure who else might be interested in buying SE. EDIT: Tencent!
