The Doom’s Day Scenario. EA buying the 360 platform from MS?

The Doom’s Day Scenario. EA buying the 360 platform from MS?
I’ve been following all these crazy moves that EA and MS has been making and I keep coming up with only one possible conclusion. MS is selling their console business to EA. MS is ditching partners left and right, has let it’s best developer go free (Bungie), closed FASFA, and has let close partnerships with Bioware and Bizzare end with publishers buying them off without a fight. Every single Move EA has made is exactly what you would need to do to be successful in the console business. Securing outstanding games, game developers, and with a sale of the 360 comes the rights to Halo and all other MS 1st party games. ea-logo
Then we have EA paying a 21 million dollar bonus to to Peter Moore to Run EA sports? Who the hell pays whats basically a PR man 21 million dollars to not run EA, but rather run a division of EA? 21 million dollars on top of his yearly salary!!!! Thats more money than More was making running the entire 360 platform. To run a sports division? Not very likely. Then we have Don Matrix who was a EA executive now running Xbox Live. This completely smacks of a executive exchange so Moore (who I think will be running console platform for EA) can prepare EA executives for the console business and Matrick (Who will start preparing and evaluating MS 360 executives who will be moving to EA with this sale) for a more seamless transition.
Finally its ****ing October and MS is not talking about any 2008 games and hasn’t really said anything about any 1st party games outside of Fable 2 which was announced in 05. [PSU]
