a lower market cap doesn't matter if a company isn't willing to be bought though

Huh.
If Sony had that kind of money, I wish they'd just spend that expanding their studios so that they'll all be Take Two in scope rather than outright buying them.
Yeah, I just mean they have room to spend more. It's just my personal feelings though as I don't have an affinity with Take Two games and I'd rather that money go somewhere else.Sony are already greatly expanding their existing studios. If these rumors are true then it's anyone's guess at Sonys reasoning for doing it. I think this thread has covered pretty much all possibilities at some point or another.
Yes it is and is ilegal.I wonder if rumors sent out by industry analysts can be considered insider trading.
how exactly would it be awesome?
well, rockstar have a very good relationship with sony, and they both make cinematic focused games. it could be that made rockstar agree to sony over other publishers and Rockstar probably have a big affect on decisions taken within T2.OK, I know there's the whole aspect of money involved here, but what other factors are there that might make Take Two consider Sony over another buyer? How well have Take Two and Sony gotten along in the past? Problems? Best buds? Would Take Twos board give any consideration to what they think might be best for the employees long term as well, or is it all about the share holders?
jesusAssuming there's any truth to this and if Sony can get them for around that price they definitely should. Keep the WWE games multi-platform because they aren't system sellers for a significant number of players, if they can keep basketball off xbox then they should. Anything else, GTA, Bioshock, Mafia should go console exclusive and release a PC version a year later. If they had their PS5 event with a trailer for RDR2 Remastered, GTAVI, new Bioshock and NBA exclusive on PS5 along with what they already have how does Microsoft counter that?
