Xbox 360 Rumour: Microsoft wants Capcom!

In the last EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) issue a rumour was reported about Microsoft intention of acquiring Capcom in order to make the famous Asiatic software-house a first-party developer.

Obviously, this is something like a sci-fi rumour! Capcom is one of the greatest Japanese software-houses and during its 27 years of activity it has never been a first-party developer.

Capcom acquisition would certainly help Microsoft with Xbox 360 sales in Japan as it will imply the exclusive on several games such as Devil May Cry (which has always been a Sony PS exclusive) and Resident Evil series.

Furthermore, it would be superficial to think that Dead Rising great success has been the only reason for such a "join-venture".

What do we think? This rumour will probably end in an air bubble but history teaches us (see Rare and Bungie acquisitions) that Microsoft is unforeseeable...
