Rumour Mill: Microsoft purchase CapCom?


Several reports across the internet suggest that Microsoft has now completed its purchase of Capcom. This topic has been in discussion for sometime now and many rumors have been started because of it. We’ve yet to hear any official confirmation.

There are many titles which CapCom have announced for the PS3 which leads me to believe that they wouldn’t be looking to be purchased, although we have to look at this from both points of view.

Resident Evil 5 and many other titles would likely become exclusives to the Xbox 360 which would be a disaster for those of you that are dedicated fans of CapCom as they’ve been one of the top publishers/developers for Sony’s PlayStation for many years. Microsoft knows this and in an effort to gain more support for their Xbox 360 it is likely to be a dream for them to take over the company. But will this become a reality?

We can’t give you anything official yet, but we’ll be trying to contact both companies to see if we can get some sort of confirmation on this rumor and put it to an end once and for all. If it becomes reality then look out for a press release on PSU soon but let’s keep our fingers crossed for it being just a rumor.
