QuoteSony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios includes many developers, but apparently the company is still open to the idea of acquiring new studios for its line-up, as mentioned by Worldwide Studios North American boss Scott Rohde during an interview with Kinda Funny Games.

"I think we're kinda in a sweet spot, but we're always open to it. Remember, we worked with Sucker Punch for a decade before we acquired them. So there are those relationships that may even start with a smaller game and teams grow, and this is on a worldwide basis.

There's always an appetite. If the relationship works and if both sides are loving the relationship and "wow, you did something great and we wanna see you grow to the next level" absolutely, we're always looking at that."

There was a rumor a long while back that Sony was in talks to acquire them but the negotiations didn't work out. This was one of those left field rumors where a largely unknown website said "we heard from this guy".

They should have taken Atlus and From Software when they had the chance, now I can't think of a studio that I'd particularly like them to own aside from one employing Kojima.

agree about atlus and from software.  i thought for a long time that they should have grabbed insomniac too.

there isn't much in terms of studios i think they should grab but quantic dreams is a possibility.  i personally like to see more small time developers like Q-games get picked up.  those are the games i really like best.

From Software would've been a great acquisition. Atlus would've been difficult because they've made quite a bit of games for Nintendo systems, as well.
