Rumor Smash!!!: Microsoft NOT buying Capcom!
The Smash: While no one will officially comment on this rumor (We all know and love that song and dance). It appears this particular bit of gossip has roots in a thread that hit NeoGaf on Jan. 10.
It started out as a rumor that Microsoft was holding a press conference in Osaka the next day. The thread quickly turned into a place to shoot off pie-in-the-sky theories (go figure) about what might happen during the mystery press conference.
Among the odd ideas was the now smashed rumor that Hideo Kojima was putting together a 360 Metal Gear Solid title.
While not outright denying it, when contacted by Kotaku a Capcom rep called the story an "OLD RUMOR."
