I'm sure from software wants to go from 12+ million sold multiplatform to the pathetic bloodborne numbers on playstation.

The true mid acquisitions would be getting the publishers that capture the largest demographics, like EA and Ubisoft.

If we’re being honest even square enix doesn’t have a proper quality control filter. :yeshrug:

They might as well be the Japanese ubisoft at this point. Sony buying a big publisher wouldn’t really allow them to improve them the way they can with smaller studios. It would be pointless to buy a big publisher and most likely keep them multiplatform because otherwise they’d be getting very little ROI on such a large purchase.

Everyone hoping they acquire square enix or capcom just want them for bragging/war reasons. It really doesn’t improve our lives at all.

Their popularity now compared to back then is night and day. They would easily move 10+ million. Besides, they would likely release on PC too.

Actually no, it depends on the franchise.

I'm saying this is mid because FS only makes Souls-like, IMO they're boring and are thematically the same thing, looked at elden ring and I see Sekiro....passed on it.

Yeah, I’d take the next bloodborne or elden ring with sony resources and money over whatever big publisher they’d buy and keep multiplatform.
