Too bad that it's too late for Sony to make a Halo killer, would've been ironic.

Sony recently partnered with 343i to make a Halo killer and released it last year in November.
Can't really kill something which is dead since ages, can you?
Why would Sony make a Halo killer? Halo killed itself.
Love D2 and cannot wait to see what they're working on.
It's actually kinda surreal that Sony own Bungie now.... hoping for loads more media / films / statues / series / books etc

that kid is having a seizure
I mean there's more IP and technically two publishing houses. There;s a lot of IP and smaller acquired companies like candy crush
not really much to get excited about with this one judging from the nature of the deal. hopefully it was all just PR speak and they actually give some tangible benefit to sony and their customers for investing 3.6B in them.
I'm talking exclusive games and experiences obviously. you don't pay 3.6B for some consulting on unannounced live service projects. what we've heard so far is absurd.

Sony bought them more for their expertise in GAAS titles. They need help monetizing their online games better and create more multiplayer games that treat the player base right.
They are pretty bad at multiplayer monetization.
I think sony just felt sorry for them and decided to do em’ a solid. I doubt sony cares about that money
Great news! Now that the acquisitions of Bungie and Haven have been completed, please Jimbo now go after Capcom and From Software (even if that means to buy the whole Kadokawa). And I assume you'll have some extra pennies in the pocket, use them to buy Dimps (main developers of SFIV, SFV and SF6) and ARC System Works too.
In addition to Destiny Bungie plans to release AT LEAST ONE (so probably more) new IP before 2025.
Buying them blocks any game exclusive with MS and Nintendo and pretty likely gives Sony (as they do with the games with marketing deals) exclusivity for game subs, demos/betas, bundles, marketing and potential/possible VR modes/experiences. In addition to obviously secure they'll continue releasing their games on PS, to add a ton of revenue and profit from Bungie to SIE's accounts, and have more IPs to make movies/tv shows/anime.
Sony needed a top tier FPS, MP and GaaS developer. These are the ones who revolutionized FPS, MP and GaaS in console and did it multiple times creating new IPs like Halo and the current holder for best selling new IP: Destiny.
