Rumor/Speculation: Market speculates that Sony could buy Take Two (SEE UPDATE IN OP)

[dom]

If Rockstar wasn't apart of Take Two, I could see it. But since they are, this is a laugh.

[Herb Alpert]

The war of the big wallets has started

Spoiler

bullshit imo

 

[Cengizhan]

Sony wins next gen if true.

 

[Cronogear]

I don't think so, Tim.

 

[chadskin]

Fuck me whaaaat

 

[Deleted member 3925]

That'd be huge, but nah. Don't believe it.

 

[SlickShoesRUCRazy]

With the amount of money that GTA 5 online has printed, I highly doubt this lmao.

 

[Brazil]

This would bring about the meltdown to end all meltdowns.

 

[Windu]

damn, that would be a large purchase. I highly doubt that the publisher that makes gta is for sale, but who knows. stranger things have happened I guess.

 

[Einbroch]

Yeah, no.

 

[Starfire22]

well, GTA was exclusive to playstation in the past ;p
but yea this isnt happening.

The original trilogy released on Xbox too.

 

[Lant_War]

If they made GTA VI a PlayStation exclusive, they'd win the generation. No fucking way it'll happen though.

 

[InfinityDOK]

Lol yeah sure and I have a pet unicorn

 

[Deleted member 42105]

Hahahaha bullshit
I'll believe it when I see it

Spoiler

and when I see it I'm going to lose my mind

 

[Toni]

Hide yo kids, GTA is going exclusive to Playstation

 

[DopeyFish]

I can't imagine there is any way Microsoft would let that happen without a counter offer.

Click to shrink...

Yup. They'd beat any offer for it.

The one thing about public companies is shareholders will to make more money

[ToadPacShakur]

If I gotta play the next GTA with a DualShock I'm gonna be pissed lol 😤😤😤😤😤

 

[Flandy]

wtf has this been rumored before? This sounds crazy?

 

[ILikeFeet]

nah

 

[NanoGuidingStar]

Wait... What? for real?

 

[AuthenticM]

Why would Take-Two ever agree to that?

 

[PeskyToaster]

This would bring about the meltdown to end all meltdowns.

I'm smiling just thinking about the thread that I don't have to moderate

 

[darkside]

wait does this mean MLB The Show will get rebranded to...

MLB2K

 

[chrisPjelly]

...

 

[Raijinto]

Nah, their games thrive on being multi-platform and they're in a good position at this moment. This doesn't make sense.

 

[Somni]

What? yea that's not happening.

 

[Sim]

Hah yeah let's get weird next gen.

 

[DrDeckard]

Looool. This is ridiculous and would be the worst thing that could happen.

 

[ZhugeEX]

This reminds me of Microsoft buying EA rumors and Apple buying Nintendo rumors.

 

[overcast]

I seriously fucking doubt this.

My exact reaction to reading the thread title. They would need to pay probably 13 or 14 billion dollars to get this done. That is 3x what Disney paid for Lucasfilm or Marvel. I cannot see this happening.

 

[Blade Wolf]

Hahahaha YES

Can you imagine how much those poor bastards would suffer?

 

[Einbroch]

guys apple is gonna buy nintendo

 

[Deleted member 28523]

rip xcom and civ.

but i don't really believe this. mircosoft didn't buy ea after all. :o

 

[Toni]

Thread is moving faster than the pens signing the exclusivity contracts

 

[Reckheim]

Well, that would suck.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Yeah, uh, no, I can't imagine that.

 

[ASaiyan]

Sony is not acquiring Take-Two. It would cost them at least $12 billion, which is 20% of their total market cap.

Could you imagine though...Rockstar Games, exclusive to PlayStation...

 

[Klobrille]

Is the source a squirrel ?

Click to shrink...

Sadly, no.

So it's probably not true, sorry!

 

[SirKai]

This does not seem feasible.

Click to shrink...

 

[ILikeFeet]

someone's trying to sell some stock

 

[J-Skee]

WHAT?!?!?!?!!? Nope, I refuse to believe this one. That is insane.

 

[tazmin]

Does Sony even have that kinda of money?

 

[Deleted member 36622]

Team Fake, it's too big and complicated.

It reminds me of the rumors about Microsoft acquiring EA.

 

[mockingbird]

GODDAMN if they finish the deal, that'll be absolute Game Over for the competition.

Click to shrink...

Microsoft would be the only one losing out on games though. Take two doesnt really have Nintendo games.

 

[funky]

Remember when EA spent like 2 yeara trying to do this and that was in the T2 lull between GTA SA and GTA4? And they failed.

Now t2 is rolling in cash. I cant see it.

 

[Deleted member 5853]

Man, Sony REALLY didn't like Agent being in development hell.

This would be a really interesting acquisition. I would definitely love SIE making TakeTwo less nefarious with their MTXs, and giving studios like Hanger 13 a second chance.
