Strangely enough, the opportunity for EA to spring into action may be coming sooner than the company thinks. Japan is currently in the midst of a power struggle of its own, as Japanese giant Square-Enix has been looking to expand its ranks with a weak Tecmo. Following the departure of Tecmo's Itagaki and other members of the staff, the company has fallen on hard times, and Square-Enix saw fit to capitalize on the situation by attempting to merge with the beleaguered company. This would be another significant acquisition for the increasingly business-oriented Square, which recently merged with big companies like Taito and, of course, Enix.
