Nah, buying them benefits no one....Sony already has the image that they own them anyway for the most part. Most regular gamers couldn't care less.

Also, this misses one of the major reasons M$ is making these purchases, platforms and chances to grow. Only 2 of those franchises meet that with Street Fighter and FF.

Not saying that can't change, but that type of change also does the very thing "gamers" don't want, which is gaas and nickel and dime them allegedly :mjlol::yeshrug:

Sony’s not even doing shyt with their own legacy ips like ape escape or Jack and daxter so I don’t see how they’d do anything with someone else’s

why would sony need to acquire them they already created new franchises, konami hasn't made anything new in decades, neither as square enix, they that's why the on the 16th main line final fantasy game

Sony is still in the drivers seat there's nothing microsoft can do, Call of Duty being an Xbox exclusive will just kill the Call of Duty franchise that's why it's not happening

Microsoft had Insominic making them only Xbox games, did not help at all, once Sony got them they made a hit with Spider-Man

The developers don't mean anything, it's who is in command, and microsoft will never be able to compete with sony, they been in the shyt since 1995 and took out sega and nintendo on the first try Microsoft wasn't even competitive last gen, they too far behind to cover up that ground, it will take a
revolutionary game, but I think that will only drive sony to come up with something better

It's good for competition, because last gen sony was too comfortable, last of us is trash, uncharted is okay, naughty dog is kinda ass to be honest

Sucker Punch is way better, their games on ps4 looked better and ran better than Naughty Dogs games even Infamous Second Son still holds up, would rather have their games on PC than that garbage ass God of War, that was dikk rode because it as a white protganist with a beard game, that seems to be dikk riden to death by western game

I hope Microsoft can force Sony to have to innovate and come up with good titles, but I just don't see it, Playstation is videogames when it comes to console, it's the default, they just call it playstation, like back in the day Nintendo was defacto name for all videogame systems when people describe videogames

This that's why all the nikkaz that say Sony is doomed by Xbox buying Activision are nuts. Think about all the franchises Sony has created with there first part studios and new IP. Microsoft just buys shyt and hardly creates new ip's. Hopefully that changes with all the publishers they are buying.

None of those would make up for losing COD. Not even close. Sony would need to buy Take Two

In terms of Sales off one IP Call of duty. That's the only golden ticket on Activision. Let's just say Call of duty games are exclusive to Xbox in terms of physical sales they will be losing more than half. Spiderman 2 and Wolverine on PS5 will sell more both digitally and physically if Call of duty is only on Xbox.

Japan is on some ho shyt if they don’t form up like a Megazord to take on MS.

This is an economic war on one of Japan’s treasured industries.
