Depends how desperate Microsoft is. Bill Gates did offer more money than Nintendo couldn't possibly make in 30-40 years. Though Nintendo turned it down. Considering how many billions Microsoft burned on the Xbox One launch. That money could have been put to buying EA. Which is why I'd believe it if Microsoft announced this acquisition. I don't think they'd make their titles exclusive though. Just like what happened with Minecraft. With that said, I'm surprised Microsoft didn't destroy Minecraft's devs yet like they did all the other studios they bought.
