Good question Jay! I would love Nintendo to buy it, just to see the internet collapse.

I would like Sega to be the ones, but they could never, ever afford it. MS would be the second best alternative, since I belive they would give Sony the stability they need. Also, if MS gave them free reign, they would become a gaming juggernaut :).

Would you please explain to me how that comment is not super xenophobic/racist?  You might mean something else, but it does sound that way.  Not calling you that, just not sure what you meant.

I know New Yorkers noticed when Japan bought the Empire State Building in the 80's.  But they proably wouldn't have liked it if someone from Philidelpia bought it either, and they didn't do anything to stop it.

Xenophobic? Had never heard of that word before, interesting.

Yeah I did mean something else, I suppose. I would want the PlayStation brand to remain Asian or Japanese so it can produce and be a console for Asian style games. Like J-RPG etc. If it were to become aquired by a European or American company I think that they would aim more for the western gaming market. The Japanese and Asian market is very small in comparison to Europe and North America, so if they would choose to only make FPS it would probably make them more money.

This is the best I can describe what I meant.

Oh wow Xenophobia much? I can't believe there are still people openly racist/xenophobic nowadays. Anonymity does truly brings out the best in some people.  

And I can't understand how some people can be so openly rude and run to conclusions without asking what someone meant. It's too easy to judge I suppose.

And by the way, I even made a thread about new consoles in Europe and Asia. I would love to see a console from Europe and from China.

Well, I get what you are saying, but to say that only a company with a physical geographic center would make a certain kind of game is a little myopic.

But I live in the states, and her pretty much anyone can get interested in anything.  As a young person, an older bother introduced me to Japanese Animae.  We would watch in in Japanese with English subtitles.  We have no relations to Japan from what I know, and it's pretty normal for people to chose things they like from any culture they encounter. 

Take our food.  Salsa from Mexico is our favorite condament.  We love French cusine. And even Apple Pie, from Germany, is our adopted national desert.

Microsoft is currently working with Japanese developers.  I think they would still make Japanese styled games.  Sure it might be different and not as much. Disney buying playstation would be a little less open though.

There are so many different cultures and ideas in the USA, it's a pretty neat thing.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

The only one i can think of is Nokia and they got bought by Microsoft.    Im sure there is some, just none comes to mind

Microsoft has not bought Nokia.  Why do people keep saying this?  They have bought the handset part of the company only.

There are much bigger companies than Nokia in Europe involved in tech but none of them are the right kind of company to enter the console market.

It would more likely be a Korean or Chinese takeover.

Probably because for most of us, those billions seem like they went for the most important part of Nokia, and the part we see most.
