A healthy company can grow on its own merits, but a less healthy company can look like it is growing by merging with or acquiring another company. This is not a knock against Sony per se, as this sort of thing is happening all over the game industry. It is just to say the game industry has some important underlying issues which it needs to address or else it will be in big trouble in a generation or two. |
I disagree. It seems more like a need of growing complexity of making games that a publisher needs more devs and studios to keep a steady flow of games going out and money coming in.
console gaming is either stable or growing both in HW and SW sold, plus have added revenue from subs and streaming that didn't exist before.
