What Company Should/Could Sony Buy?

[SOLDIER]

This is just a thought experiment thread. Kindly don't muck it up with negativity, it's all just theoretical discussion.

If I had to name a company that would probably be a good benefit for both parties involved, it would be Square Enix. Sony has continued to create the illusion that they own the mainline entries, and statistically the franchise still sells the best on Playstation consoles, last I heard. Having Cloud as a mascot that Sony could tote around with Kratos and Spider-Man would certainly hit with a specific demograph.

I also want to say Konami just so Sony would rescue all those franchises that are ignored entirely or dragged along the pachinko coffins.

But buying companies is bad

Sony should wait for Microsoft to buy more companies and then Sony buys Microsoft.
Big brain plays.

Honestly, can Sony afford these bigger Japanese studios?

MS has tons of cash and is one of the most valuable companies in the world.

I feel like this thread has already been done to death this week, and it's only Tuesday.

I don't know who they can buy, but if they bought Konami, I would be happy.

This thread again? Ismt this a reaction thread? Or something that could be discussed in the SIE studios thread?

Sony is a 10th of the value of Microsoft last time I checked.

Konami seems the obvious choice.

Kraft Heinz, I want a hybrid PS5/ketchup dispenser. Liquid cool the PS5 with the ketchup

Microsoft, just to come full circle

 

[smurfx]

they should buy atari and ouya.

 

[Multiverse Moo]

Bluepoint. Always Bluepoint.

They should go for Kadokawa so they own FROM and a lot of anime related stuff as well. Buy Crunchyroll from Warner and dominate the anime market with cool shows and finally some good anime games.

Atlus.

Sony isn't dire straits anymore and hasn't been for some time and from the sounds of it, PSN is raking in the cash for years. Obviously doesn't mean they can just 5 billion for a gaming company but if they really wanted to and saw that was the way to go they could do it.

That all said I think Capcom would be the way to go and would shore up their first party line up in a variety of ways with games like Monster Hunter and Street Fighter.
