Rumor/Speculation: Market speculates that Sony could buy Take Two (SEE UPDATE IN OP)

[Jawmuncher]

How will MS counter? Buy Sony maybe?

Click to shrink...

When someone makes a big move, you buy them out.

 

[Tambini]

Imagine what Sony could do with the biggest IP in gaming..

Battleborn

 

[Deleted member 249]

What would be fucking huge for Sony. Why would T2 do this though?

Also I just hope I can still get Civ and XCOM!

 

[renegade_sylens]

If true, looks like GTA would become a PS-exclusive title....HELL NO!!!

 

[Deleted member 42]

Excuse me

 

[tomofthepops]

Wouldn't that be like 5 billion+ ? I doubt Sony has that much cash lying around to spend on a game publisher.

 

[Dinobot]

Would they do what MS did with Minecraft and keep publishing multiplats like RDR and GTA? Or would they make them exclusive?

 

[RumbleHumble]

Maybe we'd finally see a new Bioshock

 

[MegaSackman]

Smoke of biblical proportions.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

No way this is real. Could you imagine if GTA, RDR, and NBA 2K became PlayStation exclusives?

Click to shrink...

well...PS2 did have GTA exclusive

[Quintus]

Agent was not a game, it was an idea Sony implanted in Take Two.

 

[i-hate-u]

Nice Joke

 

[Ichi]

it's on SeekingAlpha site?


Bruh.....shit is about to get real.

 

[ChewbieFR]

Don't think so.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Take Two take three take four take all my money

 

[Alvis]

The fuck

If this happens at least let them release RDR2 on PC first lol

Lmao

 

[kadotsu]

Thanks, I hate it.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

c'mon man

 

[Dust]

Exclusive GTA would be the butthurt to end all butthurts, I don't want to witness that.

 

[Majora's Mask]

That just sounds way too crazy to be true. Hopefully it isn't true.

 

[Knight613]

Oh this came from Pachter's company Wedbush Securities.

That just makes this even more funny.

 

[Trace]

No way in hell.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Can they even afford it? Sounds extremely unlikely.

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

Sony can definitely afford a massive acquisition like this. Thing is, why acquire Take-Two? I know Rockstar has a history of being friendly with Sony but this would come out of nowhere. We'll have to see what happens.

 

[Precious Tritium]

This is "Microsoft to buy EA" levels of nuts

 

[Pein]

Time to flex that PSN cash flow.

What are the chances they get rockstar? I think that's just a publishing deal.

 

[criteriondog]

 

[Red_V2]

Like the whole shit? That would be bonkers.

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

What the...

This seems... dumb? For Take Two. Not necessarily Sony.

Why would Take Two want to do this?

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

No way, lol.

 

[Cess007]

What? No waaaay

 

[Wayfaerer]

Whaaaat?!

 

[Saint-14]

I would have believed it if it's Insomniac but this is just gigantic.

 

[BeeDog]

Wishful bullshit thinking.

 

[Masagiwa]

Here comes the headlines.

 

[Rodjer]

 

[YaBish]

Do we have any sort of track record for this Joel Kulina or Wedbush Securities?

 

[Deleted member 26900]

Dear god if this happens.

 

[Canucked]

This rumor is gonna go great!

 

[Deleted member 43077]

Microsoft buy Sega, EA and Valve and now Sony is gonna buy Take Two!

fun times ahead :P

 

[Pein]

Time to flex that PSN cash flow.

What are the chances they get rockstar? I think that's just a publishing deal?

I honestly find it to be bullshit, you'd think they'd go after a publisher like capcom or Bethesda.

 

[Azerth]

so long all those game being on pc sony has shown no intrest in putting games on pc.

I also highly doubt this is true or will happen

 

[Ichi]

Sony |OT| "I'll Take Two, please."

 

[jts]

Please dump all the GTAs on the Switch first for the love of god.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

No way this is true

 

[iareharSon]

Microsoft buying EA made more sense than this given their path towards expanding the number of devices / platforms beyond Xbox that their games can ultimately be played on, and even that made zero sense. Even if Sony had the capability to make this purchase, I don't think gaming is profitable enough to justify this large of a purchase if they're going to remain in their own walled garden as far as places that Playstation games can be played.

 

[Masagiwa]

We need Schreier on this, he knows whats up at Take-Two.

 

[Calm Killer]

As a publicly traded company, I would assume anyone could put in an offer, now that this is out right? Does this turn into the next who is buying Fox?
