I get it. That acquisition was shocking, and yes the situation will be more difficult for Playstation from now on.
That said, let's not over react.
Even in the event PlayStation or Sony really get in dire straits, I'm very doubtful the Japanese government would allow an acquisition for a western of (even worse) a Chinese company.
...Maybe Nintendo will buy them out of pity (/jk)

PS division has been western since 2016, and Sony Did sell its western assets before like Sony online Entertainment & GSN mobile just recently, so it’s not far fetched to say that that the same thing could happen to SIE/PS Division 

One thing is selling some assets, another is selling the main pillar of company.

In any case, the real world effect of this move is yet to be seen. Maybe this could mean Sony will lose its leadership in the console market, but this doesn't mean necessarily their business will become unprofitable or unsustainable.

It is absolutely far fetched.

Playstation is Sony's core business pillar. It overlaps now with their movies, anime and tv divisions as is integral to their strategy of bringing their divisions together. Its also a very healthy and profitable division -made over $3 billion in profit last year- and keeps generating record revenue for Sony. 

Those other assets were the fat trimmed off as part of the restructuring of Sony, a restructuring that saw Playstation take the forefront. It would completely go against their entire corporate strategy of the past decade to now do a complete 180 and sell off their most important division. 

No I won't bookmark this.

It’s a rather stupid prediction, lacking insight and logic, and is obviously presented as a knee-jerk reaction to what MS is currently doing right now.

If this indeed happens, 2024 is too early. I don't see the PS5 having a shortened life, and I don't see Sony selling PlayStation mid-gen either and another corporate parent seeing the rest of the PS5's life cycle through.

2026-2027 is the earliest this could happen.

You know in 2014-2015 people thought Microsoft would exist consoles. For 20 years people been saying it's Nintendo.


All because SEGA did. SEGA was more than a bankrupt company for almost a decade. Sony nor MS nor Nintendo are leaving this space anytime soon. Sony only bought studios they work closely with. Nintendo only bought one they worked closely with. Sony might get another studio they work very closely with the last few years. Expand on other ones they already have. I can see Sony bringing back an old studio and building new ones. Sony will also make deals for some games to be exclusive.

Sony isn't going anywhere.

that is a rather stupidass reply, actions cause responses

Do us a favour before making moronass replies and go learn what knee-jerk reaction means.
