Basically parading their little chimpanzee around different news stations to plead their case for buying another publisher. They own 23 studios and not one of their big games have a date attached to them going into year 3 of the console lifecycle.

What are they innovating?

Why does he look like that???:picard:

Sony does need to continue to innovate and they aren’t done buying. But when they buy some shyt you know they’ll do something productive with it.

Every studio they bought they bought before they hit their prime. Every single studio put out their best game post sony acquisition/management, not before, with the exception being Bungie.

Bend Studio acquired in 2000- notable IP at the time, syphon filter 1 & 2 ( As a different studio)

Bluepoint Games acquired in 2021- notable IP at time, remakes of Demon’s Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, and remasters of Gravity Rush and Uncharted 1-3

Firesprite acquired in 2021 - The Persistence

Guerrilla Games founded and acquired in 2000

Haven Studios founded 2021 acquired in 2022

Housemarque acquired in 2021 - Returnal, Resogun, Alienation, Super stardust

Insomniac Games acquired in 2019 - Ratchet & Clank, Spyro, Resistance

London Studio founded in 2002

Media Molecule founded in 2008 acquired in 2010 - little big planet

Naughty Dog founded in 1984 acquired in 2001 - crash bandicoot 1 & 2, and Crash racing

Pixelopus founded in 2014 (college grad students)

Polyphony Digital founded in 1998

San Diego Studio founded in 2001

Santa Monica Studio founded 1999

Suckerpunch founded in 1997 acquired in 2011 - Sly Cooper 1-3, Infamous 1 & 2

Team Asobi founded as a division of Japan Studio in 1993

Then there are the support studios….Valkyrie, Xdev, Nixxes, San Mateo, Studio Malaysia. You can see from this list that sony has never made any acquisitions as a company that have pulled any real amount of 3rd party support from other platforms. Almost all their current successful studios were either founded by them or acquired off potential to produce bigger more popular games.

The one exception being Bungie, who not only right off the bat committed themselves to future multiplatform development but have mostly been acquired to even further support the expansion of sonys own studios with their multiplayer efforts.

I can make the same list for Nintendo. I would love to see someone make a list for Microsoft.


Show me the studios Microsoft bought and built up and show me all the games they made specifically for microsoft before the buy out, is there even one?

Every the studio sony bought was exclusively making software for playstation before buyouts, which means they’ve always been supported by them. They didn’t go out and buy a bunch of 3rd party studios with big successful multiplatform games already under their belts.

Microsoft has pretty much been on a spending spree of buying established major IP. Its not even close to what sony has done over the years, all those successful sony studios grew tremendously under sony.

and again, outside of support studios and Bungie, sony owned most the IP from all the studios they bought. Everything sony has spent money on in regards to their first party studio growth has ADDED to the industry.

Even now with the likes of Shift Up, Deviation Games, Kojima Productions, Team Ninja, etc. they are funding smaller newer studios with big projects. Microsoft is simply looking at what already exist and making it theirs. They aren’t adding anything new or creative to gaming.

Last of Us and Uncharted don’t exist without sony buying Naughty Dog. God of War doesn’t exist without sony starting SMS, Ghost of Tsushima doesn’t exist….Elden Ring and Dark Souls probably wouldn’t exist without sony funding Demon’s Souls.

Even non gaming related. Purchased Konica-Minolta’s dead SLR camera division in 2006. They saw value in it. 12 years later and they brought Canon and Nikon, the undisputed kings of the camera world, to their knees and changed the camera landscape. All they do is innovate. Even their failures are still cool.
