When SCE makes profit, should/will they buy exclusives?

No, they should invest in their own internal development as well as acquiring close 2nd party studios. The only time they should pay up is to keep a HUGE title like say GTA5 from going exclusive to competing consoles.

 

Well that's what I mean. Versus XIII is a big exclusive to give an example. Should Sony pay to keep FF XIV or other FF XIII spinoffs exclusive? Imo, they should.

And don't you guys think they should investing money in Japanese studios? The only good games SCEJ is bringing us is GT 5, Siren and White Knight Chronicles (as a 2nd party game) while SCEE and SCEA are making a shitload of games (SCEE is even trying to attract casuals with SingStar and Buzz).

 

Agreed. If they start making money and have a hankering for buying something, they ought to devote all their resources toward going after Level-5. Sony could have them pump out a PS3 RPG every 2-3 years and between those releases they could get Level-5 to pump out a PSP RPG or two. This would be perfect considering the increased adoption rate of PSPs in Japan and the fact that the PS3 needs more Japanese-centric titles.

 

True, altough an RPG every 2-3 years isn't enough. Besides, Level 5 is showing that they want to be independent with Professor Layton. I wouldn't be surprised if the next big RPG aftes WKC they make will be financed by themselves, not by Sony.

Sony should create a JRPG studio, or at least make some JRPG's in their currently existing studios.
