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.

Say you have a car and a TV I would like to buy from you? Why the fuck should I buy your whole house just to get them when those are the only two things I care about?
