People don't be knowing what they talking about. Someone said Sony only made about 7 billion since 2013 on here.People really think Sony is flat broke? lol yeah they dont have as much money as Microsoft but they still be making big purchases.
They generated over $12 billion last year alone from PSN.
Their previous acquisitions I just saw online:
Nov 2018: Spent 2.3 billion dollars to acquire EMI music publishing
Jan 2019: Bought Audiokinetic for an undisclosed sum of money
Aug 2019: Spent 229 million dollars to acquire Insomniac Games
Dec 2019: More than doubling their capital spending on image sensors (2.6 billion dollars) and building a new plant set to come online in 2021 (I don't know if the 2.6 billion figure is the additional amount or the total amount after the doubling, but it's still significant)
Apr 2020: Invested 400 million into Bilibili
May 2020: Spending 3.7 billion to make their finance arm private
July 202: Invested 250 million to buy a minor stake in Epic
They were also recently ready to drop over a billion dollars to acquire Leyou Games and over another billion to acquire Crunchyroll, but those deals fell through.
They obviously have money to do shyt if they was ready to drop almost 2 billion recently.
They've said since August they're still continuing to acquire studios. There's also been rumors that they've been getting quite a few big third party exclusives set up for PS5 and there's more to come we haven't heard of yet.
People talking like Sony is this broke ass company. They're not Microsoft obviously but they're not this 'barely scrapping by' company as some people try to say it is.
