Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
Kadokawa also has Acquire (Octopath Traveller, Mario & Luigi Brothership), which I think is more important than Spike Chunsoft (but not than FromSoft). On top of them Kadokawa also has more teams, but mostly mobile or Japan only smaller stuff. -
Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?
If you ask about the reason of why they didn't work together again, the reason was that QD wanted to evolve to become a multiplatform publisher to publish both their own and games from others in all platforms. In addition to saying that, QD said that even considering this, QD weren't closing... -
Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?
During this period they started to work in multiple games, did open a second studio, got acquired, ported their games to PC, turned into a publisher and published four games. And well, AAA games take longer to be made every generation. Helldivers 2 took 8 years and Rise of the Ronin took 9. And... -
Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?
They would be good acquisitions, but Quantic Dream (acquired by Netease) and Konami aren't having any trouble, they're very well. Ready at Dawn did shut down in August, so I assume Sony can't buy it. Regarding new studios, Sony has minimum 2 new ones in the works: the one with ex-Deviation devs... -
Discussion Do you plan on buying a PS5 Pro and/or a Switch 2 in 2025?
In the same way I had base PS4 and skipped PS4 Pro, I have base PS5 and will skip PS5 Pro and will jump directly to PS6 to notice a bigger difference. I'll get Switch 2 some day, but not at launch. This year I'll get -due to job/gamedev test and debug reasons more than to play there- a... -
Discussion Dragon Quest 3 remake sales split shows concerning signs for PS if they don’t do anything about it in Japan
These are only physical sales and 80% of PS5 sales are digital, while in Switch are way lower. That, combined with the console install base and Japan's traditional preference for handhelds explains the difference. Sony makes more revenue and more profit than Nintendo mainly because sells way... -
Discussion Sony should acquire Bloober Team to lock Silent Hill games permenantly to PlayStation
Bloober is a B tier AA studio, doesn't have AAA experience or pedigree to be at Sony's first party level. From Software, Capcom or Remedy would be better alternatives. Regarding pure horror games, Firesprite and Ballistic Moon hired most of the former Supermassive devs who worked in their...- Yurinka

News Lego Horizon Adventure sales are not looking good...
Well, they are just gaming flatearther Sony haters: No matter how many record metrics SIE has, how many sales records they break, how many critically acclaimed games they release, how many awards and nominations they receive. And doesn't matter how many related factual data you show them that... -

News Lego Horizon Adventure sales are not looking good...
For these obsessed doomers, maybe even Helldivers 2, Astro Bot and Destiny 2 The Final Shape. Like Astro Bot and Until Dawn, Lego Horizon falls under Sony defined as their "experimental" projects: smaller ones to test the waters of new audiences, in sometimes new genres or platforms. In case... -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
Some fun fact about the Kadokawa heads: Kadokawa was ruled by its founder until died in 1975 being 58 years old (too young), its successor was his son who got arrested by drug trafficking in 1993, and then another son took the lead until got arrested in 2022 for bribing related to the Tokyo... -
Discussion Rumor: SEGA to develop a new Wipeout game for Sony | Bandai Namco to also work on a PlayStation IP
Yes, but sadly that Sega team (Amusement Vision) doesn't exist anymore since many years ago and most of their members aren't at Sega anymore. -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
Kadokawa said they received the letter of intent, not when. Maybe received it even months ago and the announcement is ready to be made on the PS anniversary day. $5B as the total acquisition cost is totally realistic considering the market cap it had last week + a premium of let's around 40% or... -

Playstation Cyberpunk 2077 currently has no plans for a PS5 Pro Patch
I understand it, they may be butthurted because Sony did remove the game from their store. So maybe as revenge they won't make a PS5 Pro patch. Or who knows, maybe their are very busy with something else -they are known for crunching a lot- and didn't have time to make the patch, and may do it... -
Discussion (GSD) European Sales October 2024: Sharp drop in Call of Duty sales (premium sales) on Xbox platforms as a result of the Game Pass inclusion
No change in launch sales in Europe? It's hard to believe that there is no negative impact due to Game Pass. I assume it means that either MS is counting GP subs playing it as units sold (which I assume isn't the case) or that the amount of Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in Europe is so small... -
Discussion Kadokawa stocks have risen $1.1B in the last 5 days
Seems that after a small recovery it keeps steady at around 4K. Before the bum was at around 3K: It's obviously on all time high, looking at their history I assume they made a combo of covid bump + some big success in the manga/books area + Elden Ring + Elden Ring DLC + in recent days Sony... -
Discussion PlayStation's co-CEO situation seems to be going really well
I think it's too early to take any decisions. But well, they already were doing a top tier job before being co-CEOs and now they continue having more or less almost the same tasks, so I assume they'll continue doing a great job. Maybe even better because now they won't have a SIE CEO on top of...- Yurinka

Discussion (GSD) European Sales October 2024: Sharp drop in Call of Duty sales (premium sales) on Xbox platforms as a result of the Game Pass inclusion
Seeing this it's easy to understand why MS is moving away from certain countries. It's funny to remember people saying that with the ABK acquisition MS was going to have a monopoly in gaming or in consoles. Nah, it's normal for PS and Xbox to have a higher decrease because their previous year... -
