Partnering with PlayStation Productions to bring us the new blockbuster movie from an SE IP, Spirits Within 2!
:-p
Why are so many people these days opposed to exclusives or studio acquisitions? Im actually curious.
I would love to have more first party games from Sony.

Epic acquires an exclusive game... bring out the pitchforks!
Playstation acquires exclusives games... whoooo!
Be it Epic, Sony, MS, whoever; platforms buying up exclusives is not good for me as a consumer. I want to "invest" in a platform based on the hardware, service, etc. Not the exclusives they buy up that only benefit them by giving me no choice if I want to play a particular game.

Looking forward to the same people who think a bunch of walled-off proprietary hardware manufacturers is good because "competition", simultaneously cheerleading the consolidation of studios and removal of options from customers.
From Software are already owned by Kadokawa. And Sony aren't buying Kadokawa.
Probably just drinking buddies who collaborate from time to time
No, I mean that in the sense Sony's bread and butter is media and electronics. Sure yeah they pump out games for PlayStation but that isn't their sole purpose. Microsoft is a software juggernaut. The entire intent of the company from inception has been to sell you things on other people's hardware.
Begun......the acquistion wars have.
Seriously though,that seems like a reach.
People need to chill with the acquisition talk......Microsoft desperately needed to bulk up their first party for their new Gamepass strategy......so they have,good for them.
Sony WWS contains a lot of the very best in the business right now......they don't need to snap up any third party devs that are already making games for them.

with all these services like Stadia, Gamepass, NOW, Uplay+, Gamepass exclusive Content will matter more than ever before.
Sadly....i think the next years acquisiton topics will dominate the console war pissing contests

Yes, but I think that's going to change. With their recent cloud partnership with MS, there's no way Sony is just going to stream games to PlayStations and not other devices in the future.
Seriously. Announcing acquisitions at E3 is the most fanboy-inducing stuff I've seen.
Welcome to the consoles business model since 1977.
So what do you say of Nintendo, then?
From a development-standpoint it's arguably a good thing, but of course not for consumers.
Having just one system that you can engineer and tinker your game and game engine for is a lot of clarity for developers and with certain hardwares you also get unique experiences.
Yeah, I really don't like the discourse and conversation that has come about from MS beginning to buy up devs to plug the gaps in their software lineup. If they're going to make new development studios I would much prefer setting up new ones (a la Manchester Studio) or expanding existing ones (a la Guerrilla Games). The obsession and corporate cheerleading that's come about from all this is really one-note and tiring.
I still don't see the relevance with regards to them buying a studio? Sony is also a software and hardware company, and they also have services. Not the same way MS no, but sony is also going to be going the service route...thats what PS now is the beginning of (And partnering with Azure)...
Super off topic, but thats TNA/Impact, not WWE hahaYou know very well it will be WWE style with fireworks.
You must be new to the console market...PC is always been an open platform, consoles never have been. Not to mention don't see anyone cheering here and going WHOO.
I guess there are a few shareholders here, right? That's the only way to explain people making grocery lists or defending an acquisition war.
"Hi, Sid Shuman here. Just writing to let all you PlayStation fans out there know that we've recently acquired Sega Games Co., Ltd and as such now own all of their intellectual properties. Have yourselves a nice day."
I can see Take-Two, Supermassive, Thatgamecompany, Blueprint, Insomniac, and/or Square Enix joining Sony, everything else is a mixed bag.
Capcom and Namco.
That would be it i believe.
Maybe From, Remedy. Bungie and Platinum also.
MS bough obsidian and Double Fine so it's just fair to snatch some beloved studios away from them.
Well how would those stockholders react if their sony stock would fall because ms bought many big studios and people left sony for xbox?
So that's why they raised PSN prices in EU recently....so they can finally buy Apple and Amazon.
Why do you feel this way? That's a bold statement. Not trying to be snarky, it just doesn't comport with business models and shareholders as I understand them. Microsoft loves to license things out or build on competing platforms. So does Google. Sony though...I dunno. I've rarely seen it.
I know this person! But I don't know the person's name.OMG SONY IS BUYING DOMINO'S PIZZA FEATURING HATSUNE MIKU
I don't think Sony wants to start a bidding war for publishers, things would get ugly fast.
That is what I expect tbh (minus the part of being Sega).
They seems to have built a studio in San Diego and they just don't even acknowledge it.
You being serious? Because that would be massive in ways I can't describe.
we speculating by reaching bois. and we reaching faaaaaaaaaaaaaar
Im inclined to believe yes they will make an acquisition or two if the developer is right. This has been brought up several times in the last year. Sony is no strangers to acquisitions.
