From these five, only Atlus and Level-5 are somewhat plausible, but I still strongly doubt, that they'll "acquire" either of these companies.


Atlus is already owned by someone, and Level-5 would never sell out.  Hell, the way they're going, Level-5's more likely to buy out SCE in the future. ;)


Let's not be ridiculous here.

Sony selling SCE off to Level-5 isn't any more ridiculous than Level-5 selling out to Sony.  It'll only happen over Hino's dead body...


It is way more ridiculous actually, and you know it.

It really isn't tbh.  The very idea that Sony could even buy L-5 is so outside the realm of reality, that anyone really thinking that's possible must know next to nothing about any of the companies involved.

And the whole thread is ridiculous, it has been since that batshit insane OP/poll.  Talk about devs like Sucker Punch, United Front or thatgamecompany, not well established JP publishers who have been in videogames longer than Sony themselves.

Sony's NEVER bought out a JP developer actually...


It really is. Sony has the means and assets to acquire L5 if it really wanted to, L5 does not have the funds to acquire SCEWWS unless they get major loans from major banks. SCEWWS is, without a doubt, worth more than L5. Of course neither scenario is likely to happen but your suggestion that L5 could buy SCEWWS is more ridiculous than the other suggested scenario by the OP.

And yes, it's true that Sony never bought a JP developer, hence why I said SCEJ doesn't get it as they either need to acquire one or developer more JP centric games for the JP audience. They don't seem to care though as the FW fiasco that was reported shows, SCEJ is just crap outside of Ueda and Yamauchi's teams.
