Square Enix > Zipper + Sucker Punch combined.

Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Front Mission, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean...

All exclusive to PlayStation platforms (And probably PC, for games like Deus Ex and Hitman).


Seriously. Sony should have bought them a long time ago.

By that vary logic, wouldn't the best company to buy is Nintendo or Activision? Also please never mention front mission again.....never again.  T_T

Don't they already have like a 10% stock in the company? They should just get it over with.  It would also ensure Vita success in Japan.  FF, Dragon Quest and MH versus Pokemon?  Game over.

I think it was 8% or 16%. 

Edit: 

8.53%

Read the URL closely

"Sony readying major aquisition"

That tells me two things

1) There is one aquisition being readied
2) It is major.

Sucker Punch and Quantic Dream are multiple acquisitions, and even together they don't qualify as major.

They will probably buy a movie studio or music company. Most likely won't be gaming related.

Meh, I'm not big on all this sort of stuff. I just knew Sony hold some kind of stock in Square Enix

ATlus



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

They should had bought From-Software they missed such a great opportunity with Demon Souls.

The game was such a perfect fit for 3D and Move it would have been their killer app :(

They should purchase Valve. *drools*


0_o what an interesting idea..wonder how much they are worth


irrelevant as Gabe would never sell he has had offers before and has turned them down as he apparently has more money than he could ever know what to do with and Valve is more of a passion than a job as he could retire any time he wants but apparently he doesn't like golf so he makes games instead, he was also already a millionaire when he left Microsoft. Also there was reportedly an offer of over $1b just for the steam part of the business and that was pre 2010 and Steam has seen revenue roughly double every year since 2008.
