Five Developers Microsoft Must Buy... Before EA Does
>> From teamxbox.com:
[QUOTE]
Ensemble Studios. FASA Interactive. Bungie. Rare. LionHead. One thing that console manufacturers are forced to do is acquire independent game developers that will create the first-party titles every console needs at launch and throughout its lifespan.
Although a console can't succeed without third party support, first and second party titles are the games that truly differentiate a console from its competitors.

That's why the continuous acquisition of independent developers is crucial to a console success. The following are the five independent developers I believe Microsoft should buy before some other big publisher like EA or Activision acquires them.

#5 - Real Time Worlds
#4 - Gearbox Software
#3 - Crytek
#2 - Valve Software
#1 - Epic Games

Runner Ups: Starbreeze , id Software, Bizarre Creations, Nerve Software, From Software.
