Speaking at the Reuters Media Summit in New York this week, Shane Kim confessed that Microsoft's
Magic 8-Ball is as broken as everyone else's magic crystals, bird baths, mirrors and good old wild
guesses have been during these volatile times. The VP was optimistic about the games industry in
general, though, suggesting that consumers are "still looking for entertainment," specifically, of
the stay-at-home variety. Despite a

the West than ever, not only starting Square Enix LA - a

new US-based studio/a - but also considering an acquisition of Eidos to rival current acquisition
front-runner WBIE. While MCV's anonymous source thinks "Warner's [acquisition bid] will still win"
MCV speculates that "Square Enix could opt to buy single assets - perhaps just IO and the
emHitman/em brand," whom SE president Yoichi Wada "has already visited." Let's just hope that
whoever acquires Eidos and all of her assets takes good care of them. It's not just Lara and Hitman

According to UK trade publication MCV, big time US games giant GameStop has placed a bid for
approximately half of WoolWorths 815 stores. Although, WoolWorth's stores can be pretty big so it's
questionable as to how GameStop will have enough products to fill them all! If GameStop is
successful, then they will immediately become the biggest games retailer in the UK, eclipsing the
397 GAME stores.

MCV reports that Imagine's Nintendo-only UK magazine, N·Revolution, will cease publication.
In this day and age, with ad revenue and readership down – not to
mention a little thing you're using called the internet – this move
doesn't exactly come as a surprise. Its publisher's reasoning for the closure does.
Imagine's managing director, Damian Butt, says that Nintendo's focus is shifting away from the
magazine's readership, i.e. core gamers. "It has become increasingly obvious that Nintendo's
strategy...has moved increasingly away from the hardcore gaming community that is our specialty,"
Butt explained.
Still, Butt says that Imagine – which also publishes gamesTM
– will continue to work with Nintendo to "drive purchases of Nintendo
software." We're sure it will be in an entirely objective, unbiased, above-the-board way ... of
working with a company to positively influence software sales through editorial. What could be
wrong with that? Oh.
