GilbNom:

…t Studios, etc. Owning StarCraft, Warcraft, Age of Empires/Mythology, Company of Heroes, and Total War (devs also made Dawn of War games) would make Microsoft the undisputed king of RTS. That’d only really leave Command & Conquer at EA. Xbox can build up Phantasy Star into their own Final Fantasy. Being Japanese, having a bunch of great IP, and a strong mobile presence with Rovio, Sega is probably the best pick and the most likely to actually sell. Other studios with good IP that they don’t own like Avalanche Studios Group could be good. Coping here, but I hope if this acquisition happens Xbox decides to purchase the Just Cause rights from Square Enix for them. Coping further, Xbox should also get the other Eidos properties too lol. I need Gex to be done justice. Sorry for the huge post!

Welcome , I agree with you that Xbox need to start concentrating on studio acquisitions that work on genres outside of FPS & WRPG.

For a while now I have suggested Xbox should concentrate on more of the action/adventure games which typically do well at awards.

Talking of which I posted this earlier today in relation to how Xbox could have more presence at these awards:

I thought CD still owned Gex after their departure, sucks that Square retained it.
