Well Big N, I think you could be right there, MS may not be willing to wait for so long, if they rush Rare, then obviously the games aren't going to be of a good quality. I think, if MS make the mistake of rushing Rare's games through, they will either lose customers, or gain a bad reputation. however, if MS did make that mistake, they would learn in future from their mistakes and learn to be patient. However, I would have thought that MS would have known what Rare is like for delaying their games etc when they bought Rare. So I would have thought they would have considered that when making a bid for them. But having said that, look at the example of Halo 2, Bungie is taking a long time to make Halo 2, because they want to make sure it's top quality. MS are being patient with Bungie, so there's no real reason why they shouldn't be the same with Rare, especially if they realise Rare's potential. So really, nothing is for sure, it could go either way.
