Capcom Not Interested in Microsoft Buyout, Prefers Staying Independent

Capcom COO says he would "gracefully decline" any buyout offer from Microsoft, believing it's better if they stay independent.
Capcom is doing very well financially and sees no need to acquire other companies either. Prefers organic growth.
This stance echoes Sega's, which also said it's not interested in being acquired by Microsoft.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is still pursuing major acquisitions like Activision Blizzard, raising questions about future targets.
At Tokyo Game Show, Capcom provided updates on upcoming games like Dragon's Dogma 2, Street Fighter 6, and more.
