Hiroki Totoki spoke about Sony not having enough IP's a few months ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony attempts to try and acquire Kadokawa down the line once again. Perhaps they follow the Bungie acquisition timeline (6MO) and increased their stake to prevent any takeovers before they can get it done. But I think its clear Sony is looking to add more to their entertainment portfolio.

Yeah, in a gaming industry where new IPs are considered very risky, it's no surprise that acquiring established IPs is something many companies are wanting. 

Meanwhile, there's 11 PlayStation IPs that I would love to see make a return lol

I think its a bit inevitable too after Activision and more recently with Ubisoft looking to sell.

Lets say Sony did a showcase this year instead of having their announcements spread out.

Would that be showcase material for you?

As long as they're all tracking for 2025 to Q1 2026 that would be great. I don't like games being announced more than 2 years before launch. But I can know more than 2-6 months in advance. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
