Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
And they already have some money already budgeted and ready to use for acquisitions, can also pay with stocks, can sell stuff to get more cash, plus can get more debt etc. Sony can afford to buy Kadokawa, for sure. It's dumb to say they'd go bankrupt because of it. And well, if things go well... -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
I'm not. And don't be a moron, avoid insulting those who disagree with you. I never said Sony was going to stop making acquisitions forever. I said what Sony said (a while ago), that for the short them they wouldn't acquire and would keep a low profile, and that would resume them in the... -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
The news is that they are (supposed to be) in talks. If talks succed and end agreeing the acquisition then pretty likely there would be a long period of paperworks and approvals from regulators. And if things go well, the acquisition would be closed maybe in a year from now or even more. More... -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
He didn't close Japan Studio. He restructured it and gave its two part bigger offices to grow while continue doing the same they were already doing. Who do you think that is behind Death Stranding Director's Cut, Astro Bot, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Death Stranding 2 or Physint? -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
Hermen Hulst is -and was- in charge of the SIE first (which includes) party games, which means he's also in charge of the related acquisitions and investments, in addition to the SIE CEO. Now he's also SIE CEO, so he's even more in charge of this. He's the one with the final word for doing... -
Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say
"Sony declined to comment. Kadokawa said it cannot comment." means THIS IS HAPPENING. If not they'd say it's bullshit. It would be a great announcement for the PS 30th anniversary since both Kadokawa in their side and FromSoft in their side have both dozens of PS exclusives since back the PS1... -

Discussion Will Switch 2 finally be the Nintendo System that gives us GameCube games again?
I assume Nintendo will choose a cheap ass hardware, but if I would be them I'd make it powerful enough to emulate flawlessly GameCube, Wii, WiiU, DS and 3DS as other portables do. That would help Nintendo to refurbish old stuff considering it's going to be BC so wouldn't make sense to emulate /... -
Rumor Switch DS, May 2025, Mario Kart 9...
As a personal guess sounds ok, but I think that to call it Switch 2 instead of Switch DS would make more sense unless it does feature double screen to include reburbished ports of Nintendo DS games (an idea that fits very well with Nintendo's strategy). -
News Bungie acknowledge high interest in a Destiny 1 remake or classic version
Something that would be cool would be to refresh Destiny 2 visuals upgrading its engine, and keep adding (and not removing) tweaked all the previous Destiny 1 and 2 campaign stuff to Destiny 2, to play it with whatever Destiny 2 character you have. And well, to rebrand Destiny 2 to something... -

Analysis Capcom Fact Book 2024 (FY3/24 data), Software Shipments: PS4/5: 3.08M units, Switch: 1.21M units, Xbox: 0.21M units
True, I meant total game units shipped sorry, not revenue. Over half of Capcom shipped games this quarter were for PC. Capcom's game units shipped this quarter: PC digital game units 54% Console digital game units 40% PC+console physical game units 6%... -
Discussion Sony Downplays the Risk of PlayStation Users Switching to PCs in a Recent Q&A.
You mentioned "He said that during initial stages of the ps5, we don't know the current numbers.", so I posted the most recent "related numbers" that are somewhat related and help us see that there is a growth on their userbase, even if they aren't enough to get the specific percentage. But we... -

Discussion The Game Awards: Expansions, DLC, Remakes, Remasters All Eligible for All Categories
If they include all this then they shouldn't call the award game of the year. I think the nominated ones only should include new games released that year, not dlc, expansions, remasters or remakes. I think they should have three different awards: Game of the year: best new games released this... -
Discussion this video resumes how Nintendo Switch 2 and the upcoming PlayStation handheld are gonna be able to run everything with AI upscailling
I think portable devices should use a 1080p (exactly 19220x1080p, to match tvs) screen instead of 720p or 800p. And that the scaling should be from 960x540 to 1920x1080p. To make an exactly 2X zoom for 1080p and not starting from a too low resolution, in order to improve the quality of the... -
Discussion Sony Downplays the Risk of PlayStation Users Switching to PCs in a Recent Q&A.
We know that the PSN MAU are on all time highs: We know that as of end of April 2024 the active userbase split was 50-50% between PS5 and PS4, and that the gameplay hours and revenue per user is considerable higher in PS5 than in PS4: So despite PS5 being slightly behind PS4 launch aligned... -

Yes and no. Instead of reading: PlayStation Switch Xbox PC Package total (physical) Full download (digital) Maybe it's more clear for you in this way: PlayStation (physical game sales only) Switch (physical game sales only) Xbox (physical game sales only) PC (physical game sales only) Package... -
Discussion Sony Downplays the Risk of PlayStation Users Switching to PCs in a Recent Q&A.
Hermen and Nishino said the same three months ago in the previous report, the end of fiscal year one. They are growing both their PC and PS userbases: PS5 is selling almost like PS4 launch aligned, and on top of that in the PS5 generation they have now a way bigger active userbase in the... -

Seems some people here has evelopmental disability or skipped the school lesson about behaving properly. No, I mean that as we said a million times it's stupid first to assume sales from CCUs, even more particularly for SP games. And even more just a few hours after launch, when these things...
