Buying out exclusives leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths..
If this is the case than Sony should just buy Komani, atleast than it leaves a valid reason to make the games exclusive.
Imagine if MS brought the Witcher IP? or Nintendo brought the GTA IP just to lock them away from others to buy.. anti-consumer at its finest.
Buy the damn companies or leave them be in my opinion.

Buying all of Konami would be foolish if all Sony wants are the IPs. Konami has largely shifted their focus away from AAA game development and publishing. What would Sony do with Konami's pachinko machine business or all their sport/fitness centers?

What will they do with all those Pachinko machines? They make money off them of course. Just because you buy out a studio doesnt mean everything stops and restarts. Pachinko machines are huge profit gains.

Trust me, if Sony buy out IPs from studios than expect their competitors to do the exact same. I wish a 3rd party buys out Dead Space from EA but i wouldnt want Sony, Xbox or Nintendo to do it because they will surely lock it away from others to play.
