Is Microsoft not in the running to buy Take 2?

Microsoft's Shane Kim in a interview with CNN had this to say:

"One company that says it's not in the running is Microsoft. Because today's independent publishers are platform agnostic - that is to say, they build games for all major systems - taking over one would result in a massive revenue loss for Microsoft, as all development would be redirected toward the Xbox 360.

"We could never launch an acquisition bid at a third party publisher," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft (Charts) Game Studios."

Is Shane just putting up a smoke screen, or is he really serious about Microsoft not purchasing Take 2?
