When it isn't in ill spirit it's ok =] ... but it's probable that the money sony bleed with TV and Cellphone could buy some studios =p

Too bad Sony is still bleeding in the smartphone department xD

Yep, I like their phones and TVs, their notebooks were never in the pricerange I felt confortable buying.

I hope MicroSony grows their own shit and doesn't buy up studios. You can strike gold like Bungie or ND but it seems the studios have better chances of staying in business and also keeping more artistic freedom if they remain 3rd party.

Sony seems to give plenty of freedom to their devs... but sure, if they don't want to be bought they won't sell, so it's dev choice as always.

Yet not enough. What they had Zipper do to SOCOM 4 was just ridiculous. And then shut them down.

Even if they were totally independent from Sony, they could have been pressured to do it by shareholders and still be closed after.
