[Rumor]Microsoft purchases Capcom


Recommended Posts

I would like to remind everyone that, as the tag states, this, at the moment, is pure rumor & speculation.

Microsoft Purchases Capcom. Whaaat?!

The story reported by Destructoid back in November has been revisited. While this rumor seems quite unlikely, several independent sources reveal that Microsoft has indeed purchased Capcom. Honestly, this seems more like a stir to interest bored reporters and open the eyes of many bored people at work today though. However, Microsoft has been know to make many medium scale company buyouts in their past, such as Rare, however the thought of Capcom being owned by Microsoft seems to be a bit too much to be held believable.

This could actually lead to a large breakthrough on Microsoft’s part in the Japanese market, as Capcom is widely known throughout Japan, since the company is based from there anyways.

Where did we get this information? First being the Evil Avatar forums. As more information becomes available about the truth of this matter, more releases will be soon to follow. Anything is possible now in the gaming world, as popularity and publicity for the so called hobby expands. Megaman 360 anyone…..?

Would be very interesting if true.

What happens to Capcom's existing PS3 projects, though? Do they get scrapped and ported to the 360?

we don't even know if capcom was bought, man

i think they'd keep it... they've invested all this money into it already... why not make some revenue off of it?

Ooh, I'd love that. They've been releasing some really great quality games lately (like Dead Rising and Lost Planet). Plus Megaman compilations on the 360 (or XBLA?) would rock :)

Yes that would be a good move :), Wonder playing, and seeing XB360 Plastered during the game :p Only if it is true

As long as they keep making games for my DS and Wii, then I'll love it. It wouldn't hurt MS anyway... Most people see the Wii60 as the perfect combiniation :)

I honestly can't believe that people here acutally think that this rumor could really be true. Capcom is one of the fniest japanese game dev in Asia and around the world. There is no way in hell that Capcom is in such a finalcial dept to accept any proposition. I wouldn't had been surprised to hear from this a couple of years ago implying SNK, Sammy, Bandai or else,... Anyway, Capcom is already deving for the 360 on their own!

I still love you all !!

When one company buys another it's not always because the one company is in debt. Everyone has their price. If you want a certain company, it's all about finding what price that is to get it.

But in all honesty I don't see this being true.
