Don't get to disturbed by the title because, thankfully it's only a rumour, but if it turns out to be true, well it's pretty bad news *cries*

All i can say is wait to see what happen, and then see what happens the the happened thing.
Read it a few times and it makes sence, i think :-S

Microsoft are trying to find a way forward from the mess they're in but thankfully have failed thus far! This doesn't worry me :-D

purhapes there are other reasons he wants to buy an Xbox (like Halo for example). I myself own a PS2 and i'm considering buying another console, my first choice is Gamecube however if Rare do make games exclusivly for Microsoft then i may revise my choice and buy an Xbox.

Thats it!!!
Its nintendos plan you see, MS will buy nintendos half thinking that rare will join free, but nintendo then buys rares half meaning they get money from MS.
And then with star fox going to PS2 nintendo sues sony gets loads of money.
Then make an unbelieveable console with all the money wipes the floor with MS and sony then takes over MS and sony then the world, then everyone who said nintendo was kiddy is killed!!!
that or rare leaves to MS nintendo do well with GC then Xbox 2 and PS3 comes out and MS snaps up nintendo, or nintendo just make games for both.
Stuid sony waking up a gaint like MS, WW2 again.

Lol - Read the last paragraph. Who can spot the hypocritical statement?
I am nearly crying :(
From Rarenet.com:
----------
If you'll recall, a few days ago we promised big news about Microsoft and Rare. A friend of ours at everyone's favorite overly secretive software design house (that'd be Rare) told us that Rare was leaving the warm, loving embrace of Nintendo for the steely grip of Microsoft. It was the most recent in a line of stories we'd broken, culminating last week in the news that Nintendo was seeking a buyer for its portion of Rare. We held off on running this one though, waiting to get confirmation from someone else inside Rare.
Today our friends at Raretopia broke news of Rare's imminent conversion. We still haven't officially confirmed what we've heard -- the only people who know for sure still aren't talking -- but we will say this: Raretopia's account is identical to what we've heard from within Rare (except for the news of Perfect Dark being an XBOX exclusive; more on that later).
It's looking to be a near certainty that Rare will not only abandon Nintendo exclusivity, but leave Nintendo altogether and become a Microsoft-exclusive developer. We wouldn't stake our lives on it, but barring an extensive, carefully orchestrated misinformation campaign -- and a bit of bad luck -- we now believe SFA will be Rare's last game as a Nintendo-exclusive second party.
To clear up some questions:
-The reason we were so dead-set on obtaining confirmation is because Dan thought it unacceptably likely that we were being jerked around, so to speak. Knowing Raretopia's reputation for careful and accurate reporting makes this possibility less likely to us.
-Rare's corporate culture seems to have been permeated with indecision or a change in direction. Additional reports include a virtual freeze on hiring at the company, leading some to believe that Rare is delaying its expansion until its development target is known, and it can better account for positions and areas of expertise it needs to fill. For a company on the grow, a multi-month hiring freeze is ... not the right strategy, even in today's wintry economic climate.
-We said that our source did not say that Perfect Dark Zero was being reformed as an XBOX exclusive; it is true, he did not say that. Nor did he say that it would NOT be XBOX exclusive. It just, uh, didn't come up in our conversation.
There you have it. It's looking like Rare on the Gamecube may be a short-lived phenomenon. As we've all grown accustomed to, don't count your eggs before Rare, Nintendo and/or Microsoft make an official statement. But if you bought a Gamecube solely for Rare games ... you may have to amuse yourself with Star Fox Adventures for a long, long time. Me? I'm buying an XBOX tonight

Don't get worked up though, it's an unofficial and highly unknown sight. I doubt it's true.
