| shikamaru317 said: A Konami acquisition would be very expensive. I don't think people realize that Konami is publicly traded, meaning that Sony would have to buy up all of their stock to fully acquire them. Konami still has a very successful Pachinko business, leading to a market cap of $5.4b, and the value of buying that stock would only increase if stockholders heard rumors of a Sony acquisition. I doubt Sony wants to pay $7b for the handful of successful IP's that Konami owns and no good studios to work on said IP's. Zenimax is actually worth the $7.5b that MS paid, because it not only includes multiple successful IP's, but many good studios that work on said IP's. |
Sony have the money for 6b acquisition?
Microsoft is a beast company, sony is not, their market value is on the same level as Nintendo.
I see sony money-hat, like always do.
