Rumor – Microsoft is Among Potential Activision Buyers

4.6
Vevendi, the majority stakeholder of Activision Blizzard, has began “testing the appetite of possible bidders.” Vivendi has a 60 percent stake in the biggest video game publisher, Activision Blizzard. Interestingly, Microsoft’s name has come up in the list of potential new suitors

“Although a formal process has not started, bankers close to Vivendi are sounding out cash-rich trade players, including China’s Tencent and U.S. duo Time Warner and Microsoft, as well as private-equity heavyweights KKR, Providence and Blackstone,” Reuters‘ sources claim.

The French conglomerate’s stake in Activision has an estimated price of 10 billion dollars.

I don't think they will be allowed to buy them and then keep CoD from PSN. I think it would turn them into a "Monopoly"


Yeah you're right... Plus they'd have to buy Activision. IMAGINE THE PRICE!! :O

MS are crooks. I activated the trial for zune. Once the trial was up they pretty much force you to buy it. I had to cancel my credit card
