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.
You think PS5 will generate another 40m sales to match that of GTAV's Multiplat sales? You have incredibly high hopes there.
What's in it for Take-Two exactly here?
a premium of 30-40% on their Stock.MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Sure for how long will that last? Stocks change all the time and except the fact they now have to make just as much money while being limited to 1 platform.
With MS investing heavily in Xbox and its eco-system and PC and
How is this related
EVERYTHING! The fact that the competition is growing which will increase Take-Twos revenue even further.
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
Nintendo Switch is another platform with high potential of future Take-Two games which = more money.
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
Xbox is behind in console sales this gen, however XB2 isn't out so yet sooo.. umm what was the point here? Pretty sure this decision is something for next gen not this gen.
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
Take-Two already make bucket loads of money without having to share it with a mother company. If Sony buy them than Take-Two earn less.
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
Erm that doesn't mean Sony should throw away basically half there cash for 1 company. MS have over $100b in cash, doesn't mean they just throw it away at 1 company who makes 1 game every 5 years. While the other games sell no where near as much.
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
What if Take-Two falls apart? You know how much damage that would do to Sony if they get brought out and simply fail.. That's Sony's life blood being spent on 1 brand that has a lot riding on there shoulders. Also 5 to 10 years is a hell of a long time. Gaming in 5 to 10 years might not even be the same.
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
I am sure Take-Two want all there profits to go to Sony (Sarcasm). Again, what's in it for Take-Two?
So basically I am just asking the question here, What's in it for Take-Two?
Moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
They make heaps of money without being owned by Sony. What's better is they don't have to share it with Sony, What's in it for Take-Two?
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
What if the next Xbox and Nintendo console blows the competition apart? That's a lot of revenue lost. If Sony buy Take-Two than they better hope MS don't make another 360 competitor and Nintendo don't have another Wii.
The Income they make gets more divided
you really don't know what you're talking about,do you?
Take-Two don't need a mother company leeching off there profits they make.
They limit there games to 1 or 2 platforms
none of Take-Two's concern
They would want to sell and better GTAV's 90m units sold, and I am sure the share holders and suits at Take-Two want to aim higher not go backwards.
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
You don't know what Sony or any companies intentions are once they own something. Especially when a company spends almost half there bank balance on them, I am sure they would want to stick there noses in.
