Ha!

I laugh of the idea of this. Capcom is such a well-rooted and profitable gaming developer that Microsoft would have to have some pretty hefty cash and a damn good reason to buy it. But most of Capcom’s games are multi-platform, and their exclusive titles are not really worth buying them out. Resident Evil? Devil May Cry?

Microsoft already has Halo. And most people will buy the next-gen Resident Evils and Devil May Crys on the cheaper available system anyway. So, buying Capcom would be pretty pointless. Plus, Capcom would become less profitable when it stops working on portable games.

And…finally…it is worth stressing that - along with Konami and Square Enix - Capcom is one of the big three Japanese developers, and the Japanese market is one where the XBox is shunned and viewed as trash, and where the Wii reigns supreme.

I cannot see Microsoft ever buying Capcom…unless Capcom stopped making quality games for nearly every system.
