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.

If MS buy them, imagine all future Call of Duty games being exclusive to only PC and Xbox 360. Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 would be left out.

More Xbox 360 sales + more Windows gaming rigs sold = Microsoft epic victory.
