The MOST Likely Acquisition By Sony 

Who has the better IP's out of this list?

Sony acquiring Kadokawa goes beyond gaming.

For Capcom, you didn't mention Dragon's Dogma, it's a great game that Sony could easily capitalize on if they acquired the studio.

Just remember that this acquisitions are not made by SIE alone but by Sony so if theyre in talks for more than just games division the names that fits these are: Kadokawa and Square Enix that can complement Sonys other divisions not just games which are the best case scenario for Sony. The second best will be Konami & Capcom which only tap games and movies the third focusing mainly on games and barely movies will be Sega & SNK and the fourth place BandaiNamco the biggest of all Japanese studio (not counting Sony&Nintendo) that dont fit directly to other Sony divisions as the others. Other acquisitions that enforce their niche market think would make the same impact as the big studios but work closely with Sony are: Siliconstudio Arcsystems,KoeiTecmo,Platinumgames, Vanillaware, Level5, Nihonfalcon, NIS, Tamsoft.

Square Enix appears to be the most feasible name. Sony could benefit from having exclusive JRPGs, based off of their history of selling well on the PlayStation.

Square or Capcom - for highest quality IPs, followed by From Software, Sega for Quantity of IPs

I hope they get Square but at this point I lost my hope for Sony buying a publisher, sick of rumors, I’m just going to wait and see what happens.

In my personal opinion, I believe it's between Capcom and square enix. I'm not gonna include Konami for a couple of reasons that I'll explain in just a bit. but for Capcom as to why, is because of EVO. from a strategic perspective, locking down EVO had to been a plan and reason as to why. in this case, you'd want a very powerful, marketable fighter/franchise at the frontline. street fighter is that, no disrespect to Kof, mortal kombat or guilty gear. it's the most known and recognizable of the bunch. Why not purchase Capcom and then lock street fighter in? rather than go with the other ones or moreso make your own fighter. Sony tried that in the form of Playstation all stars and it failed miserably. VR does fit into their ecosystem as Capcom demonstrated this in resident evil 7 support. why they didn't throw resident evil 8: village VR support is unknown. the only thing I can think of is they have too much on their plate with village at the time of its development. things can change though, for resident evil 4 and the occulus. that may boil down to contractual obligations and a month to year exclusivity agreement. but yeah Capcom is one of the more realistic purchases imo, next is square enix because of the amount of timed exclusives they are making for sony. the only thing I'd argue is that their mismanagement of some of their latest projects/games has seen more negative attention than positive. and seeing as Sony and square have a tight enough relationship, what would be the point in purchasing them now? what would exactly change that they aren't already doing right now? I see nothing changing. for Konami? as I promised I would explain. they are greatly invested in the gambling/pachinko business in Japan. they also own real estate, laundry mats and more. Their gaming division is non existent at this point. all of the original creators of those ip's are long gone and as well as the talent that aided in creating those games into what they were. who is Sony gonna get to development reboots/sequels to these ip's? Certainly not their 1st party developers. they already have too much on their plates, and projects right now. plus you'd want someone competent to handle these ip's not some random unknown game studio. apologies for the long paragraph or wall of text. just had to add my 2 cents into the discussion.

Sony better get buy Konami to save their IP

I can see square enix because recently they've been hit with flops. AVENGERS almost bankrupted them, shadow of the tomb raider was lowest in the series, the recent platinumgames game they released. The only good thing they got going is final fantasy which was always heavy on playstation so I can see Sony being I interested in that

I'd say take two but Sony needs to bring some more exclusives and I doubt gta as a exclusive would make sense so I'd prefer capcom and konami I think they should aquire both. Resident evil as a exclusive would make sense

Koei Tecmo please!!!! Ninja Gaiden, Dead Or Alive, Nioh etc.....

Buy both of these In this order #1 = Capcom. #2 = Kadokawa/FromSoftware. Konami has no talent left , all Sony needs from them Is some of the IP or exclusivity. Square Is out of touch and too Inconsistent at this point even though they still have the most IP "potential" so maybe save that purchase for early next gen and just rely on exclusive projects. Capcom Is who I'd choose right now then pick up Kadokawa/FromSoftware ASAP In their next major purchase before they get out of reach.

Awesome video man. Can we get more content like this? Fiiiiiire

Nice video. I think it’s Square Enix or Capcom. Sony needs several IPs for its Game pass (ps plus) and they have fantastic financial results. Konami is much expensive for sony at the moment and too risky

Fromsoftware, capcom or Square enix will be profitable for Sony

I Love tomb raider the games and video I in joy it seen the movie and I in joy it pay the games I have 4 of tomb raider all the games sounds intended and good I Love games in joy your night and day thanks information it is intended and good to know what games industry is do thanks for the video I Love it

I didn't know zynga and Sony is the same dat Dar bay zgnga

There is already rumors that sony bought the rights to certain konami games but not the studio. I think its capcom. They need a fighter and street fighter is the top fighter. Let's not forget the warner Brothers games. They might be into selling ips as well since the merger. Im still a bit pissed crash isn't sonys anymore. That's just weird to me. I think by this time next year, Sony will own Kojima, capcom, fromsoftware and square Enix. Microsoft will buy ea.

Nintendo already owns a bit of Bandai Namco, and I doubt Nintendo wouldn't be the ones to buy the ones that help on Super Smash Bros. 💀 Personally I'd like them to Konami (actually I'd be ok with anyone to buy them, Konami ips are too good to not have more games!!!)

FromSoftware is the best buy of all of those. Soul's games are growing so fast and potential so big its just to good to be true even at 5-6 Billions. Also, Playstation already have Demon's Soul's and Bloodborne which are top tier games. This would be a normal thought process for them. Also, the reputation of that studio putting out completing games at release in not Tarnished ...

Konami has its fingers in more than one industry. I don’t think Sony would want the extra hassle I could see they trying to buy the game division I’m thinking Square makes the most sense. They (Sony)are constantly being portrayed as having eyes only for the west and this would bolster their Japanese studios. They already have a close relationship and let’s be real they’ve had more bombs(square) lately than hits. I think they are in good position for a buyout Capcom is on an upswing I dunno if they’d want to sell at this point

Square Enix, capcom and bandai Namco . First all square Enix exclusive on PlayStation capcom only some games multi platform others exclusive and Bandai the same as capcom. On less Xbox want games on their platforms the will not be on game pass or paid more for to be available on Xbox with no game pass.

You need to stop thinking that any acquisition by Sony it's to keep the games exclusive, any big publisher it's to keep them multiplatform

Why not they're doing with xbox right call duty Why Cam rocks are not doing what should happen

Great video bro👍👍.. Looking forward for more videos 🙏🙏

It's either Capcom (Street Fighter, RE, Dinocrisis, DMC) or Square Enix (Hitman, FF, Outsiders, Parasite Eve, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Gex, Legacy of Kain).

Great vid but I personally hope they buy Take Two of their games are a great fit for Sony. Sony also owns movie studio, televisions, and music label. They can definitely afford it if they wanted to

Dude you are so blazed it's great.

If its big, it's capcom, square or Konami

If sony buys konami and makes mg rising 2 it would be huge

If it's konami than maybe they can actually get them to make a bloody roar reboot or remake of some sort which would be the best thing they did since ever

My god I hope not square Enix. They are poisonous on making shit exclusive. I like to play pc. I do not wanna buy a ps5 again. I just sold my last one as Xmas

Bring back shawn layden

Square and Konami make more sense than anyone else

It would cool ef dear was a petman game remake

I hope a us/Europa Studio like take two or ubisoft or cd Project red or warner bros or the only Japan Studio square enix . I want that sony acquisition a Europ or us Studio , because I think that Microsoft can not buy Japan Studio and that's why sony should buy Europa/us Studios

Sony might buy SEGA

Capcom and Konami makes the most sense to me. Sony backed Street Fighter 5 and helped Capcom get that game off the ground. Sony also owns EVO one of the biggest fighting game events on the planet. Sony would also break more ground in other genres with Capcom's portfolio. Konami is a PR nightmare and I don't think Sony wants to be associated with NFTs/Skateboards/Pachinko Machines. I think they'd avoid Square Enix because of how badly their teams managed Avengers/Babylons Fall/Balan Wonderworld.

I agree Dar coet do it

I subbed only because you called for Jet Set

If xbox gets Activision and cod then ubisoft and its tom Clancy games would be a wise move. Microsoft says they gonna keep cod multiplatform. But to what extent who knows.

Sony isn't going to buy take 2 but they could probably make Gta 6 timed exclusive to PlayStation and take 2 and Sony have a pretty close partnership after microsoft but Activision Sony is going to get a lot of timed exclusives with square capcom and take 2

Sony's next acquisition probably is Deviation Games, or some studio of their proportion. Also, all these companies are publicly traded, so I think it's a little harder for them to do it so. Maybe buy a minor stake, or invest some money, like Epic Games? sounds reasonable. Otherwise, I see them more focused on strategic investments rather that big publisher acquisitions.

Sony doesn’t have the money to make a big acquisition anywhere near what Microsoft is capable of

I feel like having both Tomb Raider and Uncharted would be weird since those are basically rivals

(Square Enix )

Yes

Metal gear!! Trilogy remastered at 120 fps on ps5 would hit diffrent

It's Ubisoft

Rockstars next!! Watch
