Both of those studios have massive potential, would be exciting to see what they come out with.
The anticipation of seeing something really new and different is awesome...not having pre-existing expectations.
Sony's future and possible studio/publisher acquisitions

Plus Capcom DNA is evergreen titles which Sony likes.
MH = GaaS/MP
RE = Horror
DMC = Action
Onimusha = 3rd person action
SF = Fighter
Breath of Fire = JRPG
DD = WRPG
Fits every goal that Sony needs and wants
Sony doesn't need to buy a "WRPG" (such name doesn't have any meaning, theres no common or unique thing in WRPG compared to the Asian ones) studio. They already have their own RPG games plus the ones from Ubisoft or CD Project and basically every single 3rd party Japanese RPG dev. They even have a ton of exclusive ones.
There is absolutely no source or evidence saying that they are working on GoWR PC, and it's impossible that it could exist because such version has not been announced and won't be announced anywhere soon because they'll take years or at least a year to release it. If they ever release it.
Instead they said that have been working now as one of the development teams of GoWR PS5, instead of porters.

Not to mention Capcom's support of VR, or IP value of PS associated games/characters, and potential for wider media integration with Sony.
They wasn't but they are now. They've successfully revived Cyberpunk. The CP show was a massive success. The CP2077 DLC comes next year. Sequel is in development. 2 Witcher games are in development
They don't need Sony for anything.
Yea but why would Capcom want to get bought by Sony? They're in the best spot they've ever been in. Monster Hunter prints money. Resident Evil is as big as ever. SF6 looks great. Them too don't need Sony

I mean....did Activision need MS? (That's somewhat an honest question) You never know what's gonna happen these days.
I mean, Insomniac were also in the best spot they've ever been in after Spiderman hit, and Sony bought them anyway. I don't think Sony are like Microsoft in that respect.
Microsoft have a habit of buying or investing into studios/publishers when they are financially weakened or in some type of organizational trouble, or state of disarray. Ninja Theory, Obsidian & Double Fine were all struggling to secure funding due to prior financial failures; MS saw an opportunity and bought them. Zenimax were in big financial trouble and just lost a source in their then-current financer; MS saw an opportunity and bought them. ABK had a series of scandals pop up and go public causing tons of PR problems and hurting their stock prices; MS saw an opportunity and bought them.
There's a pattern in that respect. Sony do not have that type of pattern with buying developers or publishers. They don't wait until they are in a financially weakened position in order to justify making an offer to buy. If the company fits their goals, and have results to prove it, Sony just...makes an attempt to buy them. Or in some cases, just hire specific key talent into internal teams that already exist or are being started up.
Capcom could get an Elden Ring-level smash hit next year and that would have no deterrence on Sony considering an acquisition of them if both parties were interested. In fact, it would probably make Capcom even more desirable to them.
You're still looking at it from the Sony POV and not from the Capcom POV. If Capcom has an Elden Ring-level hit then they will never be bought by anyone. They would have no need to be bought by anyone. They would have all the money and resources to be successful on their own
Oh get real lmao, battered wives syndrome just never ends with you guys.
Well we know it won’t be Ballistic Moon judging by the size of their studio space lol
Thats not the typical “sony is helping us launch this studio” by size and decor

Yes, I think Capcom would be the best acquisition because would help Sony become a top player in more genres and niches where they still have no presence or almost no presence.
Some small extras on stuff that Capcom also has in the works to cover additional niches:
Mega Man and Ghosts 'n Goblins = 2D platformer
Final Fight and Captain Commando = beat'em up
Ace Attorney = mistery visual novel
P.S.: Dragon's Dogma is Japanese, not western. In particular it's an ARPG
"You guys" - you mean the guys who aren't constantly port-begging?

Capcom would be far better choice for Sony than Square Enix, that's for sure. At least in my opinion anyway.
Get new vernacular, it's dated. No one is begging for what your overlord is freely dumping on our platform."You guys" - you mean the guys who aren't constantly port-begging?
Like a split personality - 80% hating on and whining about Sony, 10% begging for their PC ports, and 10% fawning over and buying overpriced AMD cards
