I know on pure resources it's not anywhere near as big as Microsoft buying Activision-Blizzard, but I'd care WAY MORE about Capcom going 1st party.

Capcom have some seriously good IPs so this would be a big coup for Sony.

I know from a business point of view CoD and WoW are a bigger deal, but for my personal tastes Capcom are a much bigger get.

That said, I don't really like the number of devs that are being snapped up at the moment.

As a huge Capcom fan who primarily plays Nintendo systems now, I would be pissed if all their big franchises went Sony exclusive.

But it still wouldn't be enough to get me to buy a PS5 \_()_/

Thats what they should have done from the start. That will make their competitors sweat.

  • Street Fighter
  • Resident Evil
  • Devil May Cry
  • Monster Hunter
  • Mega-Man
  • Darkstalkers
Now thats a killer line up of IPs.

Exclusivity is not good for players. The big trick of the console wars is to get players identifying with the companies instead.

The way I see it is if Sony doesnt do it Microsoft is going to do it.

Its clear they want to buy up all of the major AAA studios. Sony needs to snatch up whatever they can before MS swoops in and take it for themselves.

I would for 90% of their properties. But Resident Evil being Nintendo exclusive would probably mean things never get anymore intense than the Re-Deads from Ocarina of Time.

what's the downside? REmake and RE4 were, at the time, gamecube exclusives. Apart from that, the RE franchise has made significant advancements since 6.
point is, sony could still make fat stacks with just resident evil...but please bring darkstalkers back.

I don't think these rumors are based on anything other than fan speculation. Absolutely nobody leaked Microsoft acquiring Activision or Bethesda. The people involved in these discussions aren't talking to 'insiders' and the employees won't know either. Even for Bungie the employees didn't know until everyone else did.

How long have we heard rumors that Microsoft wants to buy Sega and nothing has happened. Nobody ever predicts or know these things.
