No.

Other than the fact that Sony is broke, Level 5 is working on DS now with Layton and DQ, so... no.

 

Sony is broke? Since when?

 

You wouldn't have noticed I suppose, since you don't look at the links when people are "bashing Sony" (read: posting news).

In the last quarter, they've undergone debt financing, and taken a massive operating loss. Their debt is certainly higher than the amount of cash they have, and likely that's not even that much any more.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

 But how... how would Sony buy them, if Level-5 still have a lot more titles in development for the DS and Wii.

And why... why Level-5 would want to be bought by Sony, if they are making more money with their Nintendo games.

I read some ware that Level-5 wanted Sony to buy them I cold be totally wrong though. What I meant with what I said is that Sony is stupid so they might buy them even though they are sinking  lol

So that they can make a game every 4 years that will move a couple thousand extra units in Japan for abou 2^3 weeks? Not worth it.

Only 300k....
Gaming in Japan has turned to shit. Hope the anime/manga industry does go that route.....

OT:I doubt Level 5 would want to be.

Get that sarcasm detector fixed :(.

Make it sound like Sony is dirt poor with nothing else left.
