My thought of Sucker Punch has changed drastically after Infamous 2 , I can put a lot of faith into them right now , they are definitely capable of making high quality games , and now with full support from Sony I can expect masterpieces, Good move Sony .... now go acquire RPGs-making studio .

To those saying Sony should purchase more Japanese studios, I think it's clear their main focus lies with the western gaming market. SCE has expanded and grown considerably in the past few years. It may not have been such a priority or agenda for Sony at the start of the generation, with their past reliance on third parties, but their actions have shown that they intend on expanding even further, whether as a direct result of the shift in the market, or down to a plan Sony have simply to bolster their gaming division for the future.

I wonder though, how many studios do they plan to take on board? I thought MM was an intelligent and sure acquisition, especially considering their size, but that was a small acquisition and I thought Sony would stop there for at least a few more years.

In some regards, because of the lack of success and layoffs at Zipper this generation, taking on another studio in NA makes sense.

Finally someone sees what he is doing. It is starting to annoy me that he gets away with this the whole time. I said was this news made my day and he tried to belittle me. In fairness though, I am not suprised. 

great move. bring on sly 4 and a new ip

i also believe QD should be owned by sony

This is the one success for Sony this gen. They are building a great catalog of first party studios.

I think the next step would be strengthening their image as a games publisher. Everyone knows Nintendo, but not everyone who buys Sony games know they are Sony games. People don't immediately identify Sony with quality. I didn't before I started frequenting gaming sites.

If I was them I would release them under a single brand (say Sony Games) and I would put it were it's very visible on the cover and onscreen before the game starts.

This is good news for Sony I guess. Like Insomniacs, maybe Sony were afraid Sucker Punch would would go multiplatform.

This is also good news for gamers if this means a bigger team and a bigger budget for all of their future games.

So as of now, they have six first-party devs who all have and probably will make multi-million selling games: Polphony Digital, Santa Monica, Naught Dog, Guerrilla Games, Media Molecule, and now Sucker Punch.

Though I agree with your point, in Seece's defense, he's focused on Microsoft and their acquisitions, and he didn't downplay Sony in his post at all. I don't expect the die-hard Sony fans to know every studio of MS and Nintendo either. There are enough other stuff members who are firm in Sony's business.

I think they'll buy QD after another major game. Fahrenheit was good, but nothing exceptional. HR was great, but I'm sure Sony is thinking what if that was a fluke?

I can honestly see Sony buying Eat,Sleep,Play or LightBox before QD simply because their current projects appear to have more appeal.

well I think none of those three companies wants to be bought out.

In fairness of WarHawk though, we can't accurately gauge if it did sell less then HR because of digital sales. It's been available on PSN  for a long time and even was priced at 14.99 for a bit too. It wouldn't be too far fetched to think of it as close to HR in sales.
