I see what you're saying about T2 but I don't think Sony can get close to affording them. Also, I really don't think Microsoft, or anybody else, will buy Nintendo. Nintendo are so successful on their own, have bags of cash for rainy days, and are ofc Japanese so they probably don't wann be bought by a foreign company (just how it is).

Speaking about Japanese studios, that's where I think Sony ought to strengthen. With Jim Ryan going, I hope and think Sony will end their anti-Japanese stances they've taken recently. Buying one of the major Japanese devs like Square, Capcom, Sega/Atlus, Fromsoft, or even Konami for the IP, would be a move that would really diversify their 1st party line-up and the strength of their presence in their home market.

And yes, I do also think they should continue to acquire smaller, talented devs when the opportunities arise.

Finally, I would strengthen their China and India strategies. Maybe even open up a full fledged studio in Beijing or Shanghai if possible. Maybe Korea is an option to open a studio in too?

I think they CAN and WILL be able to afford “Take Two”. like i said earlier. Sony’s profits are about to be turned up after the PS5 Slim arrives next month. It’s not as costly and will NOT be receiving the usual $100 price cut. That is PROFIT out of the ass! The money is DEFINITELY coming.

and for Nintendo, I would’ve been in full agreeance with you if it wasn’t for FRIENDLY Nintendo making that “partnership” comment after the leaks

It’s going to be interesting seeing how Sony restrengthens their Japanese Studios. Honestly, i don’t really want them to buy a big Publisher there. I’d rather them take it slow. Find a smaller Dev there that has a spark of talent at the Studio. Bring that spark and Talent out of them.

I can see that “spark” at CyberAgent(Cygames) with Gran Blue. They are the start. We just have to see if there’s any truth to what were seeing. We’ll find that out on FEB 8th 2024 when Gran Blue Rising releases

I’m fully with you about China & India. China is a bit further along with their Playstation China Hero Project program. I think at some point Sony will have a Chinese headquarters/building there “Sony Computer Entertainment China”

I can see them starting with 3 Strong Quality Studios. miHoYo(Genshin Impact), UltiZero Games(Lost Soul Aside), Hypergryph(Popucom)

After Playstation India Hero Project is going along, They’ll have an India Headquarter/building there aswell. “Sony Computer Entertainment India”

.. with 3 Strong Quality Indian Studios in that region to kick it off aswell
