Let's entertain the rumor of Sony looking to buy a studio to bolster their first party

Anyway, if Sony were to buy anybody, it should be a studio that would give them something they don't already have. Sony's biggest weakness, I think, is a lack of colour, a lack of child-friendliness. To be clear, I'm not saying they don't have stuff that kids can play... but they have nothing comparable to, for instance, Mario. No, Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank aren't comparable.

Ubisoft almost fits the bill, but I'm not sure there's sufficient value for them in that. As such, I would suggest something more along the lines of certain smaller studios, rather than a publisher. Indeed, I'd suggest that approaching larger indies would probably be the best approach - grow some indie studios with fresh ideas.

Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, LittleBigPlanet, Knack, Modnation Racers are all child friendly.

You didn't even bother to finish reading the first paragraph, did you?
