As for Sony, sure, they probably had idea's about what they might acquire in the future, but what MS is doing will no doubt change who, how many, and how much for Sony. Sony's only somewhat large buy was Bungie and that was fairly recent. Other than that they make much smaller purchases and grow those studios. Sony will have little choice but to buy as much as they can asap if MS keeps buying as well, especially the massive acquisitions that Sony would struggle to be able to make. The more competitive MS becomes, the more Sony will try to keep ahead, and MS is dictating the speed and how that happens right now, which will be much more consolidation. |
Honestly i dont think this changes anything Sony was planning on buying. Whatever they where going to buy they will still do it. |
Not if there's a bigger better buy that takes up too much of the budget.
If you're up by 2 games in a 7 game series, to then find out that the other team has caught on to your strategy and is now on coming back 1 game and then a potential 2nd, you don't keep the same strategy. You adjust or completely change your strategy as necessary.
If MS keeps buying and buying big, Sony would be idiots to ignore it and not adjust.
