I must admit the idea of a Microsoft buyout does sound good for only one reason: Street Fighter X Killer Instinct.
 
If you read the article, the shareholders voted down a share buyback plan. They did say however that they preferred other means to prevent a buyout which would imply that the shareholders are not in fact putting the company up for sale.
 
Honestly, Capcom can survive on its own without the takeover defense. Management needs to stop thinking that the Company is little more than a typical salaried business and more like a development studio. Major projects like Deep Down May be graphicAlly impressive, but smaller titles like Monster Hunter is what brings in the bacon. This is not to say they can't develop big projects like this, but funding them with little intent to advertise (see Dragons Dogma), is just asking for a flop.
