Sony need to buy the franchise. Even Netflix has a couple Netflix Original FATE anime series.

Sadly they arent that forward thinking and i dont even expect them to get the rights for an exclusive game.

Nintendo did an amazing thing embracing Pokemon and honestly this could be Sonys "Pokemon" (it definitely has the potential at least), but even though Fate is almost literally showering Sony with money i doubt they see buying Fate (or at least getting the rights for exclusive games) as a worthwhile endevour.

I apologize because i realize that this is the 3rd time ive said the same thing on this thread, but god its frustrating seeing sony essentially sitting on a gold mine and not realizing what they have.

Huh? Fate games were revived with the new anime adaptations by ufotable (starting with Fate/Zero, then UBW, and now the Heaven's Feel movies). Grand Order is huge, but Sony hasn't done jack to transition it to PS4 for some really stupid reason.

Don't worry, I'm sure that PS isn't going to pass this opportunity by...is what I would've said before looking into this further. But hey, Grand Order got an arcade version, so they can port that money printer over to PS4 and call it a day.

Sadly I don't think even that will happen. After all, a KanColle arcade port never surfaced on any console, so I have to think that the arcade cabinets hold a pretty big sway when it comes to their games, especially big money otaku draws like KC/GO.
