    Microsoft could have done great things with Capcom. Certainly, it would have been a boon to the efforts Microsoft are looking to make to boost the profile of the Xbox in Asia. And it could have resulted in some fantastic games coming to our shores.

    Something new

    Microsoft is charging $4.00 for it. Not Capcom. For all we know, Capcom could have wanted to release it for free. I'm sure that MS only bought the exclusivity of it just so they could turn around and slap a price-tag on it.

    If MS did go through with purchasing Capcom, do you guys think it would make a big impact towards helping push console and game sales for MS?

  5. I do not think just purchasing (not exactly what would happen here) Capcom would make a big impact. They would have a decent stable of game IP from that they could leverage by making some good/great games for those series but that would take time. And
    they need to push console sales sooner than later. I traded my PS4's in for One consoles and am not bashing them. That is just how it is.

    That would be weird if MS owned Capcom but I think it could turn out great. Especially, since MS is down with bringing back old titles lately. Capcom has quite a few that would be strong system sellers.

    Hello everyone Could Microsoft buy capcom :)

    If Microsoft does purchase Capcom, it is going to have such a huge impact for them because of games like...

    (1) Resident Evil

    (2) Dino Crisis

    (3) Street Fighter

    (4) Breath Of Fire

    (5) Marvel vs Capcom (if they can get the Marvel license back)

    (6) Capcom vs SNK

    Furthermore, MS would have the rights to make such classics as...

    (1) Aliens vs Predator (Acarde / beat em up)

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone Could Microsoft buy capcom :)

    If they did, I'd hate Microsoft more than I'm hating on it now, if that's even possible, especially if the games were made exclusive. I prefer my RE on multiple platforms. I think I'd be more ok even if a company like EA bought Capcom...

  10. Microsoft should definitely buy Capcom .........Benefits being it make money from the cross platform games street fighter resident evil etc it gets all the exclusive from other platforms but with extra content and it also don't loose its exclusive
    in the process dead rising........ They would be stupid not to bib on a deal that would give them the upper hand........

    Anything is possible. I'm still surprised they bought Nokia tbh.

    It would be a horrible purchase in my opinion. If they're going to buy out developers, you buy low, a team that's on the up & up. Capcom is another developer mired in the past. They're strictly living off of titles they released 10+ years ago. This is
    not what you want to buy with your money.

    ^^Good point but the same can be and should be said about Nintendo. IMO it would be a good move just to acquire the IPs.

    One positive I can see would be the cash injection Capcom would get from MS. They could then sink more money into rebooting their many formerly great franchises and making new IPs

  15. I can see Capcom Vancouver being taken, they are near Black Tusk studio & clearly were in good with MS to make an Xbox One exclusive launch title.

    As for MS taking over Capcom as a whole for IPs, I would hope it wouldn't go the way of Rare, although both are only parts of their former selves.

    I wouldn't expect Nintendo to do the same, but I would support it.
