Industry is clearly consolidating... And Microsoft and Sony are focused on inorganic growth via acquisitions, then will likely provide these studios with additional resources/technology/infrastructure to create additional organic growth.

Wondering when Nintendo will start doing some acquisitions, it's got $14~ billion smacko's in the bank at the moment...

This Sony one and their past one are quite organic.  Usually Sony will buy studios that they published most of their games beforehand anyway so they were already exclusive and funded

A purchase, any purchase... Is inorganic growth.

Already owning a studio and growing it creatively and via investment is organic growth.

Sony and Microsoft are doing both, Sony more so as their wallets aren't as fat as Microsoft's.
