Capcom
Capcom would be another home run acquisition that would instantly bolster the Xbox One’s exclusive lineup with a diverse set of IPs. Like SEGA, Microsoft would have access to a beloved mascot in Mega Man, the new hotness which is Monster Hunter: World, and, of course, other beloved franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Dead Rising (which Microsoft had exclusively for a while). And, if Microsoft really wanted to do everyone a solid and get the masses hyped up about this acquisition, they could finally bring back Power Stone from the grave.
Keeping Street Fighter and Resident Evil off of Sony consoles going forward would be a huge blow to the PlayStation brand, and if Microsoft wanted to give cracking into the Japanese video game market one last go, coming in armed with the incredibly popular (in Japan, but now also kind of worldwide) Monster Hunter might be its best chance to finally get traction.
