Rumour Whirlwind As Microsoft Moves On Rare | |
|
||
| Time: 14:55 EST/19:55 GMT | News Source: Computer and Video Games | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

UK sources indicated today that the long-rumoured Microsoft take-over move on Rare may be imminent. Insiders have now set a price of £350 million for the developer, which at the moment is owned by Nintendo to the tune of 49 percent of its stock. Rare refused to comment on the speculation today. The news is looking likely to be a jigsaw piece that slots in nicely to make a final, Rare-shaped picture. Talk is heating up today regarding an apparently huge announcement at Microsoft's X02 event in Seville later this month, which will be specifically software related. Rumour has been constant recently regarding the next Perfect Dark game heading exclusively to Xbox. See what we mean? | ||

| This is big news for the Nintendo camp. If true, then Rare would go from being an exclusive nintendo developer to being an exclusive xbox developer. OUCH! |

| yeah but for a heck of a lot of money for a company that only releases a few titles. And bar Goldeneye. Their donkey kong games sold well - but they won't have that if they switch to MS. |

As we've seen time and time again, MOST of Microsoft's conquored companies... kill themselves... through mismanagement, pissing off customers, pissing off partners, etc.
Could Rare's ForSale sign just be a result of Nintendo's mismanagement? I think so. |
