yeah anything...but Platinum Games don't really have funds. It's gotta be one of the big 3...probably MS or even Nintendo, since Sony is strapped for cash (damn Vita).

Sony still has a cash reserve on the mid ten billions, at least twice as much as Nintendo... and really, with those prices you are pratically stealing stabilished franchises from THQ's corpse. Any mid-sized developer could afford it.... but I guess the lack of profits from Darksiders 2 and the fact they didn't have any game close to launch really weighted against Vigil. Like big time. I mean... hell, literally no one thought they were worth the risk.

I have a pdf of Nintendo's financials and they have appx $9.7 Billion dollars in reserve(begining 2012) with a market cap of ~$15B. I don't have Sony's financial pdf but I doubt they have double that!!! Sony's total market capitalization for all their departments only amounts to ~$13 Billion, that's less than even Nintendo whose majority income is from gaming. Now if you were talking assests (liquid and non-liquid) than yes they have more than double that (even probably 10x) of Nintendo for sure!!!
