Instead of buying studios they should make new ones or expand existing ones. I don't understand the mentality of "Nintendo should buy this" or "Sony should buy that"... it hurts the consumer more than anyone else when a 3rd party studio is bought by a 1st party company all it'd do is add more to the dick waving arguments over which console people prefer and why their choice is the 'best' one...

It depends for me personally. When someone aquires one studio. There games will definetly come to that console who bought the studio. then you dont have to buy different consoles for different games. Lets say if Nintendo bought square enix or capcom. you could play all Nintendo Ip, and all square enix or capcom Ip on the same console without buying the other consoles.  In that regard i think its much easier for the wallet.

I'm more or less with StarOcean, for me doing that works against my desire to buy said game if it's bought up by a 1st party, especially since my platform isn't owned by a single corp so mine can't buy other IP's which leaves me having my choices snatched away from me, especially when I have no desire to buy most systems this gen and the markets you neglect and push away isn't healthy at all tbh.
