It's a good stuido but is this really the time for Sony to be buying stuidos? They just had a significant loss and it's not like they are under any threat for MSes or even Nintendos first party right now and it's not like Sucker Punch was going to jump ship to multiplat either, I'm sure it will pay off in the long run but sometimes I think Sony is looking a little too far ahead |
We hear this often, how Sony can't do "x" because of [insert amount of dollars] lost. I don't think the situation is anywhere near as grim as you think.

I don't think the situation is grim, I just don't think it was a very prudent move, Sucker punch isn't going anywhere, and it will take years for Sucker Punches profits (which go to Sony now) to outweight their cost, and Sony already has the best first party it's not like they are under pressure to make more good exclusive games. So yeah back to my basic point I think Sony thinks a little to far ahead sometimes.

Much of that can be specualted otherwise, since it's speculation anyway. If we're speaking finacicals, no Sony doesn't have the best 1st parties. That doesn't matter in the long run though and I'm sure picking up Sucker Punch wasn't a move solely based on the actions of Sony.
Your basic point was about finacials btw. If the issue were that bad, they probably wouldn't be investing in studios (which returns to my basic point).

I was speaking game output for Sony's parties (lack of which or extra cash are the only reasons I see for buying a studio) and I never said it was that bad just that the move wasn't a prudent one something you ignored, I think we've both said all we are going to say.
