That’s not entirely true. Sony has split their stock 30 years ago. They are listed in American and Japanese Stock Exchange. Would you put both together, then they would have a bigger value than Disney.
Looked it up on google earth, they are pretty close to one another.
They should buy the Moss Devs, Polyarc. Not only do they make good VR games they have the potential to make hybrid titles

Disney has a market cap of just over $170B and while double the $85B cap, that's still nowhere near a company that has a market cap of $2T dollars. In an era where acquisitions are going to keep happening, it would obviously be better to have more money than less money. It's just how I see it.
Either way, Sony needs to go after the studios they want regardless of what anyone else is doing and get them done sooner rather than later.
Gaben hated the PS3 but i dont know any of his opinions on the modern playstations. He probably likes them more since they aren't as much of a pain in the ass to port games to. Then again, he hasn't even made any games for them because valve since 2012 have basically retired from making software with a few games as an exception
I wish BioWare wasn't sold to EA and they stayed in their prime, then it would be a no brainer.
I wouldn't mind a return of ddr and guitar hero products on modern online systems. Treat them as their own platform/ecosystem and make sure to keep the dlc song purchases honored going forward with each console gen. As long as you keep the core product active, you can do weird experimental things on the side like that white/black guitar note thing the ps4 got.
Aren't you a smart cookie.... if anyone has been seeing Tweets from Shu and Cory have been using Steam Decks and posting a lot of pictures. Shu even got his early.
I really think Sony want to be serious platform owners and wouldn't move games to PC unless it was in service of a grander plan.
I just wonder why they invested in Epic if they were gonna buy Steam though...so there are a few questions.
They’re not buying steam or epic, lets not go down this path lol
I doubt the FTC would even allow it.
I think if MSFT gets ABK through, they could definitely try getting Steam and it is a real move for dominance.
oh of course i definitely agree
just that the original poster made it seem like Taiko was owned by Konami and not namco, which is just a funny thought to me since the franchise would be much different if konami owned it

probably want Epic for the Fortnite money more than anything let's be real
I think the Epic investment was from Sony not SIE. It’s for Unreal, mostly for multimedia development
That's not what I said? I said the best is for the acquisition not to go through and for sony not to buy publishers. These acts occur one as a consequence of another. If this goes through, Sony should and will acquire a publisher. If it doesn't, I doubt they will.
Its a good company to be tied to right now. They have damn near a monopoly with Unreal Engine at this point, which is why im 100% certain Sony wouldn’t be able to buy them out. They could eventually just continue to increase their shares but Tencent is already there.
Sony buying epic would give them way too much power with licensing UE5, owning Epic Games Store, and the IP
People want Playstation to get bought out so it can compete with microsoft in buying other publishers lol
Like, how about sony just continue making really good games instead of chasing stale ass western IP that might not even be around in 10 years? Yall dont know how quickly the tide can change in gaming, IP don’t last forever.
Tomorrow there will be a new Fortnite, or Apex, or CoD. The most profitable games this gen will be new IP
