MS bought two of the biggest western made game companies ID software and Bethseda.

If SONY wanted to own game devs of the east of the same level, who would they buy?

Square Enix
From software
?

Square, Insomniac, and Activision are the most obvious from memory.

I don't know if they can afford Square.

I'd also prefer they didn't buy any because games all being divided up into different consoles is shit.

Sony buying From Software would be the absolute WORST thing to ever happen in the video game industry

It's bad enough that Demon's Souls and Bloodborne will forever be locked to garbage consoles. Having EVERY From game locked there would be awful.

Konami so they get the rights to MGS
we could only wish. Konami is too stubborn. I don't even care about them owning Konami...just buy the rights to MGS and give us what we all want. remakes of the old games, continue the series. Hell bring Kojima's crazy ass back too.

Came in here to say Konami.

I'd be happy with a decent Silent HIll game.

They don't have that at all the company net worth is probably around 50billion or so. Where do you get your info from? I'm pulling the 50billion out of my ass and it's way more believable than the number you posted.

Sony isnt even in the same league as MS tbh, its like comparing apples to oranges. Before long COVID is going to put their movie division in the hole and theyll be scraping along on their gaming division alone, and thats when Microsoft will buy Sony :)

you're both not far off. Their net worth is around 45 billion with 70 billion in sales. MS is worth like...4 times that overall.

They need to buy Konami. They can bring back the card game technology they made early in the PS3 lifetime but with Yugioh instead. Easy money.

$78.8B how cute.



Edit: also your information is a little out of date. Sony is worth more than you said. But not by much.

It gets budgeted from the same pool. Historically Don Mattrick couldn't convince Steve Ballmer to open up the budget for Xbox. Thanks to GamePass, Phil Spencer has not had the same difficulties with Satya Nadella so now you're seeing Microsoft spending priorities reflected in Xbox as a top brand.
