After the Bethesda news...do you think Sony should go after Capcom/SE?

[Deleted member 1839]

With the big ass news of Microsoft getting Zenimax/Bethesda do you think Sony should counter by going after a big developer/publisher they've worked closely with like Square Enix or Capcom? It would add a lot to their portfolio if that was the case and Square is already pretty close with Sony as is.

What do you think?

 

[Bosch]

Nope. They should focus on buy good second party studios.

 

[GhostTrick]

Why would they need that ? To make the console war lists grows bigger ?

 

[RobotVM]

No, leave them third party. There are already too many.

 

[Ghost]

I dunno if they have the money, honestly.

 

[Joffy]

I don't want them to but they've probably at least been strongly considering it

I think this is going to be a tough day for the Resetera mod team.

 

[defaltoption]

No I don't why would I think that

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

Sigh. This race to turn the game industry into three companies is just tiring.

 

[Patitoloco]

Like I said in other thread, if Sony goes for Square Enix, they MUST get the Eidos side as well. I think that's where most of the value is, in those IPs. If they're only going for the japanese side, they better spend their money somewhere else.

I don't feel like they need to buy 3rd party companies? There first party line up is strong enough to carry them on the exclusive side. I see them making more marketing and maybe timed exclusive deals though

 

[808s & Villainy]

No, I think we shouldn't be encouraging this. No good comes from this

 

[RivalGT]

It doesn't make sense for them to be buying up multiple 3rd party studios.

 

[Helix]

this is gonna be closed in a few minutes.

 

[Jroc]

I don't think you need to pay Japanese devs to not support Xbox tbh

 

[Jaded Alyx]

No but Nintendo should. Just for shits and giggles.

 

[BordyDogue]

No

 

[Deleted member 2752]

I want fewer exclusives, not more.

 

[Zippo]

Sigh. This race to turn the game industry into three companies is just tiring.

Awful idea.

 

[DNAbro]

They already get exclusive and timed exclusive from Square Enix

 

[Dest]

no please no stop this

 

[Het_Nkik]

No, Jesus. First party studios need to stop buying third parties all together. Let everyone enjoy the games.

 

[Midas]

Not really. But I would like to, just for the reactions.

 

[2Blackcats]

Dunno but they should sure as fuck stop paying to have content not on Xbox. It's a waste for a pretty crappy gain

 

[Dance Inferno]

Nintendo should buy Sony and Microsoft.

Go on, do it.

 

[Zonal Hertz]

I have no issue with Microsoft signing up studios. But if Sony get their mits on it they will force good games to not come to PC. Which sucks. So no thanks.

 

[Helix]

but before it does, i think this is bad for the industry tbh. sets a really big precendence

 

[T002 Tyrant]

Can console companies stop buying other companies?! It's killing the industry not saving it.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Anything is possible.

 

[Ushojax]

Why in god's name would they need to buy a Japanese mega-publisher? There is no benefit to them, Japan doesn't care about the Xbox.

 

[HibbySloth]

God, I hope not.

 

[tusharngf]

Sony is no microsoft with deep pockets.

 

[MrCibb]

I don't see why they would.

 

[Anddo]

Can Sony even spend 7.5B on anything?
If acquisitions like this continue it will be a real shame it forces Sony out.
I know it's a bit early for that type of talk. Just the shock talking.
