SE = 6.31B, Capcom = 5.8B , Bethesda was bough for 7.5B
Kadokawa = 4B iirc
| Otter said: Sony has shown no interest in buying massive 3rd parties so I wouldn't worry about it. They have a great relationship with many Japanese publishers and are literally the gateway to their Global success (see Tales of Arise), so there is little to be won by securing whole publishers that they can otherwise just bargain with to get their big guns (FFXVI) |
The Sony of then is different to Sony now.
Playstation barely made acquisitions in PS3/4. They have bought 5 studios in one year in the PS5 era
Sony is buying billion dollar companies left right center.
This is one year. Add to that Bluepoint, Nixxes, Housemarque, Firesprite, Discord investment....
If people expect Sony not buy billion dollar+ gaming companies then expect to be mistaken. Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.
