Eidos on the Block

Eidos shares on the London market are soaring on takeover rumors. The company has announced that it is in the very early stages of negotiations that may result in the sale of the company. Likely Eidos suitors include French rivals Inforgrames and Havas, with many considering acquisitive Infogrames to be the most likely buyer. Another possibility is Microsoft, which recently purchased Bungie Software but has been spurned in its attempts to purchase a large publisher in Japan.
