Microsoft and Take-Two
A story in today's Wall Street Journal, on the prospect of consolidation in the video-game industry, includes this interesting piece of speculation toward the end:
Microsoft will come under increasing pressure to fill in the dearth of games as it prepares its next-generation Xbox for sale late next year. One possible target would be Take-Two, the maker of the blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto" series, whose newest versions appear first on Sony's PlayStation 2 game console before they are made available on other machines. ... With a market capitalization of $1.54 billion, Take-Two is valued more highly than many investors think Microsoft would be willing to pay for a game maker. But with "Grand Theft Auto" under its own roof, Microsoft could have one of best-selling games of all time for its Xbox and pull the rug from beneath its chief rival, Sony, which has a market capitalization of about $35 billion.
Don't know whether this supports or undermines that theory, but you may recall that Take-Two is the same company to which Microsoft recently sold its sports video-game development studio, Utah-based Indie Built.
