I don't normally venture into the games forums so this may be old news, but I've just found a news item that Microsoft may buy out games creator Rare Inc.

It's been confirmed. They paid like 375 million for the company and now get all their games exclusively, including Perfect Dark Zero, but don't fret all of the games they made with Nintendo characters stay with Nintendo. Interestingly enough, Nintendo owned half the company, so they get half the money to invest in lots of other game developers...
