Oh look. I was right. Nintendo was never going to acquire Atlus. That was a silly rumour perpetuated by one dude with a poorly-informed opinion putting digital pen to digital paper.

(In fairness, I didn't quite guess which company would make the acquisition either, but I was on the right track!)

The bidding war for Atlus has begun. 20 companies have thrown their chips into the ring and it seems that the acquisition is going to be a big deal. While there's only one known bidder so far, SEGA, the bid is ¥20 billion (approximately $200 million USD).

Because the biggest news is always left for last in the week; Activision Blizzard will become an independent company as CEO, Bobby Kotick, and the company's co-chairman, Brian Kelly, have led a $8.2 billion buyout from the parent company, Vivendi.
