The pure thought of this happening freaks me out (and it would freak me out if the rumor was about Sony or Nintendo buying EA as well). The only way that I can see something like this not majorly crippling the market in some way is if it came along with MS getting out of the platform business.
Any other scenario and this would be nothing but a move aiming straight at creating a monopoly. I mean even if they decide to keep the games multiplat, how is there supposed to be any proper competition if the power balance between the two competitors is this off?
Seriously this would be terrible.
