I've been kind of 50/50 on whether Sony would buy a publisher.
I feel like buying a bunch of studios would be a strong way for them to go ahead, without breaking the bank. (Deviation Games, Arrowhead Games, etc)
But given how much the industry is practically tripping over itself to buy publishers, it wouldn't be crazy to think that Sony would be wanting to do something more substantial.
But I wonder if Sony would want to wait for the Activision deal to close. Perhaps that they would worry that any big acquisition would make the Activision deal more likely.
