Microsoft to bid for Take Two?

Analyst believes that the platform holder is a 'likely bidder' for EA target Take Two

Microsoft is the latest suitor to be linked with a bid for Take Two after Seeking Alpha's Stephen Frankola stated on the site that the format holder 'has the cash, the takeover desire, and the rationale' to buy the firm.

“I think that Microsoft is a likely bidder for Take Two,” says Frankola.

“Microsoft has the cash, the takeover desire, and the rationale for making such a purchase. The Grand Theft Auto franchise alone is worth more than this current takeover price and Take Two has many other promising games and franchises that Microsoft could continue to build and polish.”

Hi I'm an analyst. I think Capcom are going to buy Nintendo and Sony and Codemasters are going to buy Microsoft. Can I have my cheque now please.

This has 100% more credibility than anything that Patcher has ever said. That man is an AR5E.
