| Soriku said: Why would Sony buy a company like Level 5? They're a pretty big company and I don't think they'll want to buy them, or any company for that matter. Why? Well, why haven't they bought other companies? Simply because the companies are way too big to be bought, so cost a lot of money they could use to make other games. It's not like buying some studios. And even then companies like Sony/MS/Nintendo don't bother with "big" significant studios. They make a lot games for Sony anyway...so there's no point really. Games like Professor Layton/Inazuma/whatever not on Sony systems simply WOULD NOT work on Sony platforms and that's a reason they don't put those type of games on Sony systems. Basically they put good stuff on Sony systems, and then also put innovative stuff on Nintendo systems which is good since Nintendo is big in innovation anyway. |
Soriku, you are overstimating the size and value of Level 5 and underestimating the strength of Sony.
Sony has bought Naughty Dog, a team of much larger size and put a foothold into Insomniac. Both of those things would cost significantly more than Sony buying L5.
