@@IVSAKENSOUL So the leak for dragon's Dogma 2 said we'd hear something about it in Q2 2022 and that the game was releasing this year. So I'm guessing we'll hear about it this summer, and that it'll release at the end of the year. I need that sequel too.
Just remember that this acquisitions are not made by SIE alone but by Sony so if theyre in talks for more than just games division the names that fits these are: Kadokawa and Square Enix that can complement Sonys other divisions not just games which are the best case scenario for Sony. The second best will be Konami & Capcom which only tap games and movies the third focusing mainly on games and barely movies will be Sega & SNK and the fourth place BandaiNamco the biggest of all Japanese studio (not counting Sony&Nintendo) that dont fit directly to other Sony divisions as the others. Other acquisitions that enforce their niche market think would make the same impact as the big studios but work closely with Sony are: Siliconstudio Arcsystems,KoeiTecmo,Platinumgames, Vanillaware, Level5, Nihonfalcon, NIS, Tamsoft.
Well put. I'm not too savvy on the anime side of things, but I know Kadokawa is big with Manga. The company would have to be a triple threat or at least have IP's able to be elevated by the respective division. It's gonna be huge either way. Who are you betting on?
@@IVSAKENSOUL As a consumer personal favorites are Fromsoftware(Kadokawa), Konami. Business wise are Kadokawa, SquareEnix which are more bang for your buck but also more operative costs than acquiring a studio like Capcom or combination of the medium studios listed.
Square Enix appears to be the most feasible name. Sony could benefit from having exclusive JRPGs, based off of their history of selling well on the PlayStation.
Indeed. Rumors are cool and all, but I'm burnt out on the so called insiders. That's why I tried to take a more analytic approach. Square would be insane, and a loooooong time coming
@@IVSAKENSOUL tbh I don’t like at all the idea of buying publishers but at this point I’m scared as hell if let’s say Microsoft buys Square (even though that’s not really possible cuz they’re japanese) that would be a devastating blow to me, I’m a huge KH fan and seeing that franchise become exclusive to Xbox, Yeah… heck no.
We already have square, bungie was a slap to microsoft right in the face, microsft is basically broke, they cant afford activision. They lost hard all over again
In my personal opinion, I believe it's between Capcom and square enix. I'm not gonna include Konami for a couple of reasons that I'll explain in just a bit. but for Capcom as to why, is because of EVO. from a strategic perspective, locking down EVO had to been a plan and reason as to why. in this case, you'd want a very powerful, marketable fighter/franchise at the frontline. street fighter is that, no disrespect to Kof, mortal kombat or guilty gear. it's the most known and recognizable of the bunch. Why not purchase Capcom and then lock street fighter in? rather than go with the other ones or moreso make your own fighter. Sony tried that in the form of Playstation all stars and it failed miserably. VR does fit into their ecosystem as Capcom demonstrated this in resident evil 7 support. why they didn't throw resident evil 8: village VR support is unknown. the only thing I can think of is they have too much on their plate with village at the time of its development. things can change though, for resident evil 4 and the occulus. that may boil down to contractual obligations and a month to year exclusivity agreement. but yeah Capcom is one of the more realistic purchases imo, next is square enix because of the amount of timed exclusives they are making for sony. the only thing I'd argue is that their mismanagement of some of their latest projects/games has seen more negative attention than positive. and seeing as Sony and square have a tight enough relationship, what would be the point in purchasing them now? what would exactly change that they aren't already doing right now? I see nothing changing. for Konami? as I promised I would explain. they are greatly invested in the gambling/pachinko business in Japan. they also own real estate, laundry mats and more. Their gaming division is non existent at this point. all of the original creators of those ip's are long gone and as well as the talent that aided in creating those games into what they were. who is Sony gonna get to development reboots/sequels to these ip's? Certainly not their 1st party developers. they already have too much on their plates, and projects right now. plus you'd want someone competent to handle these ip's not some random unknown game studio. apologies for the long paragraph or wall of text. just had to add my 2 cents into the discussion.
Great analysis. SF6 would be a huge win for Sony in accordance with EVO. Capcom is possible, but I wonder why RE8 hasn't had any news of VR, and RE4 is currently only on Oculus. Given their past VR support with RE7, they have experience together. Konami is a ghost town, so I'd assume Sony could absorb that and use BluePoint for remakes. It's most likely one of those 3, but I'd think Sony needs a tried and true development team, or a clean slate.
@@IVSAKENSOUL It's very much possible that they currently working on it or just don't have the time. simply because they are working on the resident evil 4 remake. things can change, so it's very possible that they can announce at any point at any state of play or future showcase. as far as I'm aware, sony seems to be only going after the talent vs. just going solely after IP's. there is barely any talent left at Konami's gaming division. the only thing left, is the ip's themselves, unless sony is willing to risk buying konami for some ip's I can't see the correlation between them purchasing them. True, but you have to wonder if they'd want Bluepoint games to work on just remakes/remasters. if you were to purchase the gaming division of konami. the goal should be new titles and entries in these respective franchises. not to say full fledge remakes or built from the ground up remasters wouldn't be exciting.
I can see square enix because recently they've been hit with flops. AVENGERS almost bankrupted them, shadow of the tomb raider was lowest in the series, the recent platinumgames game they released. The only good thing they got going is final fantasy which was always heavy on playstation so I can see Sony being I interested in that
True, it could go both ways. They're value is cheaper due to the recent releases being subpar, but Sony could also see it as a risk due to brand recognition being tainted.
I'd say take two but Sony needs to bring some more exclusives and I doubt gta as a exclusive would make sense so I'd prefer capcom and konami I think they should aquire both. Resident evil as a exclusive would make sense
Buy both of these In this order #1 = Capcom. #2 = Kadokawa/FromSoftware. Konami has no talent left , all Sony needs from them Is some of the IP or exclusivity. Square Is out of touch and too Inconsistent at this point even though they still have the most IP "potential" so maybe save that purchase for early next gen and just rely on exclusive projects. Capcom Is who I'd choose right now then pick up Kadokawa/FromSoftware ASAP In their next major purchase before they get out of reach.
@@sadisticnobility6579 I know a lot of people say Sony is now more likely to buy Sqaure since they sold their western studios but to me I don't understand that logic. I'm sure Sony would prefer to have Tomb Raider and Deus Ex and 300 million on top of whatever Japan square is worth would be easy for Sony to buy so maybe Sony doesn't intend to buy square since they already make exclusives
Nice video. I think it’s Square Enix or Capcom. Sony needs several IPs for its Game pass (ps plus) and they have fantastic financial results. Konami is much expensive for sony at the moment and too risky
Thank you. I can imagine squares back catalog being on ps plus due to the close relationship with Sony. It could all depend on the price of Konami's gaming division
i mean because of Japanese monopoly laws they can't acquire any Japanese studios anymore so Capcom Konami and square enix as a result are off the table in actuality
It's either Capcom (Street Fighter, RE, Dinocrisis, DMC) or Square Enix (Hitman, FF, Outsiders, Parasite Eve, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Gex, Legacy of Kain).
Agreed. I think higher chance for square compared to Capcom. The western ips they have does cover some of the genres sony is lacking. But unfortunately, square don't own hitman anymore. They let io interactive buy themselves out together with the hitman ip.
Damn Square sold half 4 out of the 6 games you mentioned (IO Interactive are independent already, and Microsoft is looking into them and Hitman soooo🤷♂️) Embracer Group tho got a W
If it's konami than maybe they can actually get them to make a bloody roar reboot or remake of some sort which would be the best thing they did since ever
Capcom and Konami makes the most sense to me. Sony backed Street Fighter 5 and helped Capcom get that game off the ground. Sony also owns EVO one of the biggest fighting game events on the planet. Sony would also break more ground in other genres with Capcom's portfolio. Konami is a PR nightmare and I don't think Sony wants to be associated with NFTs/Skateboards/Pachinko Machines. I think they'd avoid Square Enix because of how badly their teams managed Avengers/Babylons Fall/Balan Wonderworld.
Capcom is very likely in regards to SF5, and their RE series going first person with VR support. It just seems odd they'd make RE4 exclusive to Quest (at least it's exclusive for now). Konami would be difficult, but I think Sony would have to buy their gaming division only in order to avoid their weird stage presence and unfocused nature. Square has recently dropped the ball, but the IP's are staggering. They've maintained a close relationship, so they could do with or without a buyout since they're already used to being a Playstation centric company. Those three are all plausible, but I'm just wondering how long before the RE series tanks again, or DMC.
FromSoftware is the best buy of all of those. Soul's games are growing so fast and potential so big its just to good to be true even at 5-6 Billions. Also, Playstation already have Demon's Soul's and Bloodborne which are top tier games. This would be a normal thought process for them. Also, the reputation of that studio putting out completing games at release in not Tarnished ...
There is already rumors that sony bought the rights to certain konami games but not the studio. I think its capcom. They need a fighter and street fighter is the top fighter. Let's not forget the warner Brothers games. They might be into selling ips as well since the merger. Im still a bit pissed crash isn't sonys anymore. That's just weird to me. I think by this time next year, Sony will own Kojima, capcom, fromsoftware and square Enix. Microsoft will buy ea.
Great vid but I personally hope they buy Take Two of their games are a great fit for Sony. Sony also owns movie studio, televisions, and music label. They can definitely afford it if they wanted to
Thanks! Take Two would be better than Activision imo, but I doubt they want to go exclusive. GTA 5 could release on PS6, and people would buy it. I forgot to mention, but Square was looking for buyers earlier this year, or sometime last year
Konami has its fingers in more than one industry. I don’t think Sony would want the extra hassle I could see they trying to buy the game division I’m thinking Square makes the most sense. They (Sony)are constantly being portrayed as having eyes only for the west and this would bolster their Japanese studios. They already have a close relationship and let’s be real they’ve had more bombs(square) lately than hits. I think they are in good position for a buyout Capcom is on an upswing I dunno if they’d want to sell at this point
Like that depiction of Capcom being on the upswing. Square has dropped the ball lately, which isn't like them. A deal with Konami would have to be just the gaming division, so we'd be relying on them not being greedy.
Nintendo already owns a bit of Bandai Namco, and I doubt Nintendo wouldn't be the ones to buy the ones that help on Super Smash Bros. 💀 Personally I'd like them to Konami (actually I'd be ok with anyone to buy them, Konami ips are too good to not have more games!!!)
Sony's next acquisition probably is Deviation Games, or some studio of their proportion. Also, all these companies are publicly traded, so I think it's a little harder for them to do it so. Maybe buy a minor stake, or invest some money, like Epic Games? sounds reasonable. Otherwise, I see them more focused on strategic investments rather that big publisher acquisitions.
I hope a us/Europa Studio like take two or ubisoft or cd Project red or warner bros or the only Japan Studio square enix . I want that sony acquisition a Europ or us Studio , because I think that Microsoft can not buy Japan Studio and that's why sony should buy Europa/us Studios
If xbox gets Activision and cod then ubisoft and its tom Clancy games would be a wise move. Microsoft says they gonna keep cod multiplatform. But to what extent who knows.
Two private equity firms are interested in buying Ubisoft. This was just recently reported on. So, I don't know if Sony would be willing to have a bidding war for Ubiosft
My god I hope not square Enix. They are poisonous on making shit exclusive. I like to play pc. I do not wanna buy a ps5 again. I just sold my last one as Xmas
Sony isn't going to buy take 2 but they could probably make Gta 6 timed exclusive to PlayStation and take 2 and Sony have a pretty close partnership after microsoft but Activision Sony is going to get a lot of timed exclusives with square capcom and take 2
I Love tomb raider the games and video I in joy it seen the movie and I in joy it pay the games I have 4 of tomb raider all the games sounds intended and good I Love games in joy your night and day thanks information it is intended and good to know what games industry is do thanks for the video I Love it
Square Enix, capcom and bandai Namco . First all square Enix exclusive on PlayStation capcom only some games multi platform others exclusive and Bandai the same as capcom. On less Xbox want games on their platforms the will not be on game pass or paid more for to be available on Xbox with no game pass.
@@IVSAKENSOUL Mostly I prefer they work on is Prince of Persia. But if they bring back a dormant IP then next on the list is Might & Magic and use Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Immortals: Fenyx Rising as a base to create games from that series.
Who has the better IP's out of this list?
Man that's hard to say, I guess that's going to come down to personal preference. I Would pick capcom myself but I do love the other I.p just as much.
I got to say Capcom
Capcom or Konami
Sony acquiring Kadokawa goes beyond gaming.
Exactly. I neglected to mention the Anime they have. We will see soooooon
For Capcom, you didn't mention Dragon's Dogma, it's a great game that Sony could easily capitalize on if they acquired the studio.

Sony isn't going to buy take 2 but they could probably make Gta 6 timed exclusive to PlayStation and take 2 and Sony have a pretty close partnership after microsoft but Activision Sony is going to get a lot of timed exclusives with square capcom and take 2
Timed exclusives have been working wonders for Sony, so I'm sure they will continue.
Sony might buy SEGA

Square Enix, capcom and bandai Namco . First all square Enix exclusive on PlayStation capcom only some games multi platform others exclusive and Bandai the same as capcom. On less Xbox want games on their platforms the will not be on game pass or paid more for to be available on Xbox with no game pass.
Sony doesn’t have the money to make a big acquisition anywhere near what Microsoft is capable of
That's a given, since Microsoft makes bank from Windows
It's Ubisoft
Which game would you like to see them work on
@@IVSAKENSOUL Mostly I prefer they work on is Prince of Persia. But if they bring back a dormant IP then next on the list is Might & Magic and use Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Immortals: Fenyx Rising as a base to create games from that series.
Metal gear!! Trilogy remastered at 120 fps on ps5 would hit diffrent
Rockstars next!! Watch
