There's a strange dichotomy where Sony is weak and strong at the same time, from the same people.
Like people constantly point out that "Sony can't afford what Microsoft can", and yet there's constant complaints about "If Microsoft can do something, why can't Sony?"

Fanboys making excuses when it fits their agenda.

MS has the money to buy take two, ea, Activision, ubisoft, Warner bros gaming division, capcom, square and Sega easily.

Sony doesn't have anywhere near that buying power

but as Brazil points out,.. Sony still has the ability to form strong relationships with 3rd party publishers...

Square Enix Montreal new name. Wonder when/if we'll get new names for the other Square Enix studios that were bought.

I wouldn't be surprised if none of the others get renamed.

I think Crystal Dynamics will stay. One big question is whether they have the rights to the Eidos name, or whether Square held onto that for whatever reason.

They're currently up to 7 game studios.

It's a notable area where Sony hasn't been pushing as much into, acquisition wise.
Although Firesprite is a big VR studio, they seem to be doing mostly non-VR.

They were separated in 2015.
And strangely I don't remember MS ever owning them, but they did shortly.

it's more that assbook is trying to horde a monopoly on anyone with any VR experience.

If it was first party only, it would be a strong push to reduce the need to get an Xbox for PlayStation owners.

Third party included would likely push into their own market.

lol.  Soo much hopiam.   Ms offered 3rd party only.
