Kojima Productions.

Universal Studio.

That one studio that hasn't released any games. The one Jade created.

Nobody interesting, if their past acquisitions are anything to go by. Imagine actually buying Bungie lmao

>5B
KONAMI 100%

Is Bungie the most whored out modern studio? They've sold themselves and bought back their freedom a bunch of times.

New studio called spider man studios where they'll just make spider man games since that's all ps5 has going for it

Link to the article please

Another dev team that never made a game.

What company with that price tag makes the most movie games?

crytek

hooray for internet & media consolidation

I place my bet on "More snoy cope fiction"

Konami is worth 8B but that includes all their divisions and not just the gaming one. I dont know if they can buy one a certain division and I highly doubt Konami's gaming division is worth 5B considering the state of it

>Rumor
More fanboy cope from snoys, trying to pretend Sony can afford billions when their company is up to the tits in debt

SAFE RANGE
>Nintendo - 60.42B
>EA - 35.395B
>Bandai Namco - 16.194B
>KONAMI - 8.949B
DANGER RANGE
>Square Enix - 5.588B
>Capcom - 5.558B
>UBISOFT - 5.712B
>SEGA Market Cap - 4.009B

There have been constant conflicting reports about sony buying something for weeks
it's over, Bungie was their big purchase, they won't be doing anything for at least another year

Maybe they should just reopen Sony Japan Studios??

>>SEGA Market Cap - 4.009B
Oh boy

can they buy some fucking hardware production facilities first?

>more snoy rumors

l m a o

quick name a single sony rumor that came true

No way Kojima Productions is worth that much. They only paid 3B for Bungie and they print money.

>SEGA
oh god it fits the bill

I can't find the article, OP probably made it up.

I mean there was a rumor before the Bungie buyout that came true, but nobody expected it to be bungie lmao

Pfft, keep dreaming Snoy, you just want to claim you have a game that constantly shows up in the top 30 and this is the only hope you have.

Read that shit, his syntax is ESL tier

How is Konami this high when nearly all their IPs are frozen?

yakuza money laundering front, which makes the buyout unlikely.

Square Enix. They're close with Sony.

>new Silent Hill
>new MGS with Kojima on board
>Bloody Roar is now PlayStation's own first-party fighting game series and gets a new entry
I wish

they make a lot off mobile games and their "Konami Amusements" division, which handles stuff like pachinkos

Supposedly CD Projekt Red is also valued at around 4.8B.

what would be worse for the industry; SEGA or SE getting bought out by Snoy? both have around 5B mcap

Attached: 1628998307952.jpg (480x960, 26.83K)

I really hope it's not Sega since if anyone buys them I want it to be MS. I'm fine with it being Capcom or SE though. SE in particular is a good fit

more like
>new Silent Hill third person cinematic "experience"
>new MGS third person cinematic "experience"
>Bloody who? here's Castlevania VN where Alucard has to find a top to fuck him in the ass

>thinking its gonna be a JP studio
the last few deals were all western studios
This is probably it considering how fucked they are networth-wise

Which ones? Bomberman and it's highly successful spin off Bombergirl is still going strong. Yu-Gi-Oh is going strong, their other arcade games are going strong. They have had a game in the top 30 Famitsu charts for over two years that has never dropped out of the top 30 something Sony can't claim has ever happened to their first parties.
They don't care about or cater to the west anymore and are better for it.

Ita going to be fucking hilarious when its ubisoft
Sony doesn't like Japanese games anymore why would they even buy sega

you do realize that both Silent Hill and MGS were some of the first movie games to exist, right?

Please not Kadokawa

It's Sony they are retarded enough to spend that much money

They were probably above 10b and have dropped down to that more than being valued at that.

I hope the OP is literally saying they spent 5 billion and not 4 billion, because if they bought Atlus I'm going to have a word with Mr. Sony

Either CD Projekt Red or Ubisoft. They're not gonna buy a jap company for sure

SAFE RANGE
>Take-Two Interactive - 17.532B
DANGER RANGE
>KOEI TECMO - 5.028B

Wouldn't it make sense for them to acquire a Japanese studio since that is like the one thing they can do that Microsoft cannot since Sony is technically a Japanese company.

Sony isn't going to spend 5 bill on squeenix.

Of course it's a fake article, snoys are pathetic lol

Konami sucks ass

>KONAMI is 8B
>SEGA is 4B
what the fuck? SEGA keeps pumping it at least decent games while Konami does jackshit. Same for Capcom

What the fuck is konami doing?

With Bungie they burrowed more then needed to ensure software engineers were kept, they may do the same again. But likely 5B is a rough number.

These fucking idiots bought bungie for 2 billion. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought another mediocre company at too high a price.

None of this shit actually matters for the end-user. What we're seeing is the corporate equivalent of a nuclear arms race. So far, all these gobbled-up companies are continuing to release games multiplat, keeping the status quo. But if one side decides to start pulling that and forcing major subsidiaries to make exclusives instead, then the other side will follow suite. Then instead of all platforms having all games, each platform has fewer and everyone loses overall. Mutually assured destruction.

But why would they buy a Jap company when they hate Jap games?

You will never have a new console. More production means more for scalpers to buy with their near-unlimited crypto money.
They spent 3 billion on Bungie and they're a smaller company with less popular games. Even Destiny 2 isn't worth as much as FF7 and FF14.

a handful of corporations consolidating large sectors of the industry is not a good thing no matter how you look at it and the only people who applaud it are tribalistic chimpanzees

>it's bad when SNOY does it
>BUT PLEASE MICROCOCK PLEASE BUY MORE COMPANIES AND MONOPOLIZE US!

Last I checked, Konami had a lot of business from slot machines, pachinko machines, etc.

Next time you're at the casino, check out how many slot machines are from Konami.

I'd say KT is safe just because current SIE heads only want western/westaboo stuff.

idiots for buying bnungie?
they print money user.
you dont liking what they do doesnt mean they are no profitable

its capcom

>snoys still think sony cares about japan and japanese video games

Rolling in money from the sales of Momotaro Dentetsu, Bombergirl, Yu-Gi-Oh and their other arcade titles.

>SEGA keeps pumping it at least decent games while Konami does jackshit
Look up Momotaro Dentetsu

Square Enix also makes
>merchandise
>arcades
>manga
So...

Disney

Hopefully Konami. Most people associate those franchises with Sony anyway.

>criticize industry giants
>GRRRRRR THIS GUY IS SURELY A [other company]FAG I MUST DEFEND MY MASTERS

They paid too much for Bungie. Even Mojang counting inflation, it would be barely $3B today and that thing actually prints money.

>how is Konami worth money
Pachinko.

Both are equally catastrophic,

It's all separate and money really isn't shared, it seems. Otherwise Konami would be way bigger with video games than they are.

SIE is incredibly retarded though

has destiny 2 even made $3 billion in the long run?

it's nintendo. sony finally bought nintendo. the end time is upon us
