The mini fridge next to a XSX. The console fits in there exactly and you can charge your controller too, haha.

PlayStation is in growth mode and could still have around $13B-18B in the budget for acquisitions.

So I saw this over there and did some digging.

Iā€™m sure @Knottian can explain it better either here or over in the acquisition thread when it inedibility gets posted over there, but itā€™s MarisanpanGaming and I donā€™t think ā€œbeing an investorā€ makes you an expert.

Literally the ā€œBluepoint is working on Multiple Metal Gear remakes and Sony Japan Silent Hill is realā€ guy.

Not even OtherERA is taking it seriously.

Also the entire article is speculation from him.

They already told it that this budget is for the next 3 years.

For exclusives by their own studios?

I think it was everything Sony. Everything.

Movies, games, music, anime, camera stuff.

I see, that makes much more sense.

Funny though isnā€™t it?

From 2018 through 2020, we were told how bad acquisitions for the industry, and now as 2021 wraps up, certain fans are tripping over themselves saying ā€œNo, PlayStation has 19 billion for acquisitions. Sonyā€™s gonna buy a publisher, hereā€™s the studios Sonyā€™s gonna buy, give us more Studios! More!ā€

Ironic

And I believe the recent acquisitions are also included in that budget. Originally they allocated around 18b right? With multiple studio purchases and anime and so on they probably spend around 5b already.

I am an investor in Microsoft and own 20 shares, and I can say that I and a group of investors that Microsoft intends to spend all the money it owns in the coming years

People have to use logic , How is it possible for a company that could not compete with Tencent for the acquisition of Leyou, which cost only 1.5 billion, they believe that Sony will spend 13-18 billion?

This article does not mean anything and does not contain strong sources and it is all speculation

i donā€™t think itā€™s ā€œimpossibleā€ for them to acquire Square. i still think itā€™s an unlikely scenario, butā€¦ :man_shrugging:

Square Enix is a multinational and multi industry company they arent getting bought.

why do I have a feeling you jinxed it ā€¦

It would suck but wouldnā€™t be the end of the world. The games becoming timed exclusives for God knows how long keep increasing, the RPGs like FF especially but also things like Babylonā€™s Fall and Iā€™m sure thereā€™s more.

Xbox buys CD from them with Tomb Raider and the rest goes to Sony. :wink:

Obviously Xbox would miss out on some big non Japanese stuff too, but they would manage. But neither I see this happening.

Square isnā€™t getting bought for the simple fact that they donā€™t need to buy it, any game that Sony wants exclusivity, Square will make it for them.

They have the benefits without buying them.

If you were someone sick of hearing about Playstations weaknessā€™ compared to Xbox, this seems like exactly the angle you would want to push as a counterpoint

So yeah, heā€™s probably full of shit again

And imagine with Discord purchase MS could provide those features in chat groups and so on.
