So you would want Sony to spend almost half there Cash on hand for a Publisher/Developers that has the promise of making $6b in however long GTAV has been on the market for? (6 years) Small detail, that $6b is made from GTAV selling over 90m copies, and sorry to say that's not all on Sony's platform.
Google "GTA 5 has now sold over 90 million copies and generated over $6 billion in revenue since its initial release."

Close to $50million of those sales were on PS3 and PS4.

PS5 exclsuives will get even more sales.

What's in it for Take-Two exactly here?

a premium of 30-40% on their Stock.MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

With MS investing heavily in Xbox and its eco-system and PC and

How is this related

Nintendo's Switch being the hottest device on the market,

Hottest device when not facing competition from New Consoles and also it is not the platform Take-Two normally takes its games out on

you think Take Two don't see the possible venue on the other platforms?

Almost 75% of Take-Two's sales are from PlayStation platform currently and Xbox is selling bad and Nintendo & Take-Two don't have a good relation meaning Nintendo platforms are incompatible with Take-Two software

They make a fortune selling there games on everything not just 1 platform.

They make most of their money on Playstation

You're going off-topic,Whats in it for Take-Two? -The Moneyyyyyyy,Once they are bought,their stock holders have no relation with gaming as Sony will own them if this goes though

So not only will Sony waste almost half there Cash on hand in just there gaming division,

it wouldn't be wasting cash.Playstation is by far Sony's biggest business

the income will be a lot less than what Take Two is making now so it will probably take 10 years for Sony to make there money back on Take Two's purchase.

Sony could make back that money in 5-10years software wise on Take-Two properties but it will make alot more by selling consoles with exclusivity

Also Take-Two wont have to share there profits on there games.

do you even understand what this is about?

once a company is bought like we are talking about here,all profit will go to Sony not Take-Two,thats what ownership means

So basically I am just asking the question here, What's in it for Take-Two?

Moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

They have to cross there fingers that Sony's next platform is incredibly successful

Sony's next platform will easily be atleast a bit successful and you would know this if you follow gaming world.

Again,once Take-Two get paid,they don't have to worry about next gen,They already got the money.This is an all cash deal

The Income they make gets more divided

you really don't know what you're talking about,do you?

They limit there games to 1 or 2 platforms

none of Take-Two's concern

They could possibly lose development freedom

Take-Two is a publisher owning development teams like Rockstar.Development teams as it is have no freedom as they are owned by Take-Two
