Microsoft and Take-Two

A story in today's Wall Street Journal, on the prospect of consolidation in the video-game industry, includes this interesting piece of speculation toward the end:

Microsoft will come under increasing pressure to fill in the dearth of games as it prepares its next-generation Xbox for sale late next year. One possible target would be Take-Two, the maker of the blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto" series, whose newest versions appear first on Sony's PlayStation 2 game console before they are made available on other machines. ... With a market capitalization of $1.54 billion, Take-Two is valued more highly than many investors think Microsoft would be willing to pay for a game maker. But with "Grand Theft Auto" under its own roof, Microsoft could have one of best-selling games of all time for its Xbox and pull the rug from beneath its chief rival, Sony, which has a market capitalization of about $35 billion.

Don't know whether this supports or undermines that theory, but you may recall that Take-Two is the same company to which Microsoft recently sold its sports video-game development studio, Utah-based Indie Built.

no creas. Ms le debe una a Take-Two. Bungie esta en MS gracias a que Take-Two quiso vender su porción de la empresa a MS. Y bueno, GTA a salido por que a Take-Two le salio de allí romper los contratos con Sony (a saber bajo cuanta pasta).

No se si la comprará, pero un buen movimiento si sería tener un contrato de exclusividad de sus titulos.
