Discounting Microsoft due to a lack of presence in Japan could be just the opposite of the truth. Acquiring Shenmue could help spark sales and thus would be a sensible acquisition. Time has shown through timed Namco Bandai exclusives that it may not be enough (especially Shenmue), though a new generation equates to a new uphill battle in regards to IP's. Microsoft has shown they're not afraid to resurrect dead series, K.I. and Dead Rising being recent examples (yes Dead Rising was defunct despite being fairly new).
