It's a fight between Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft has fallen too fair behind to catch up in 1 gen.
I actually completely forgot about that acquisition. What effects have AT&T's acquisition of Warner Bros. had on them?
they can and if Sony doesn't acquire Take Two, they will.
not necessarily. Microsoft has had a strong position in gen 7. and now with gamepass on their side and the inevitable day 1 CoD releases on it, mS has a very strong chance of taking Sony off of their throne
Could also be similar regulatory pressures if Sony does go for anyone big, especially being the market leader.
The only things that attracts me to Ubisoft games are Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs (the latter seems to be on ice now). However, Prince of Persia, Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Just Dance and those Tom Clancy games can be really lucrative ips for Sony alongside Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs.
Ditto. I miss the old R6 and Ghost Recon when they were "hardcode" tactical shooters. I dread they'll make the next Splinter Cell an open world-style game where Sam climbs countless towers to unlock vistas/viewpoints.
The recent Ghost Recons are quite fun in co-op with friends, probably a chore in single player.Ditto. I miss the old R6 and Ghost Recon when they were "hardcode" tactical shooters.

I wish they would make a new Rayman.
This Bungie acquisition cost not far off half of the cost of Zenimax and is not looking too hot so far. I think Sony should invest a ton more into their main studios that have a strong pedigree and already established fit within the company. They should all have multiple teams additional to what they already have so they can work on multiple big games at the same time.

if the rumors are true, then things are looking in Sony's favor - maybe not about Activision, but Bethesda
I agree. Sony shouldn't have given up in the first place - and they did when they signed that 10 year CoD contract with mS.
I know I am replying to you very late with this so just like I always say - don't feel obligated to respond. but with what you said here, you're kinda moving the goalposts now. your point originally was that games like Yakuza, Persona (and even Just Dance for that matter) don't fit into playstation's catalogue of 3rd person action adventure games.
lol I realize that I should have replied to you at the time but better late than never I guess
And my opinion, still stands. Playstation Studios is best known for their cinematic looking games (well ps4 days to this current gen). Those 3 franchises aren't really. Even Helldivers 2 made a switch to third person and graphic wise, on par with those big sony 1st party games I've mentioned.
my whole point with our conversation last year is that you were making it sound like there can be only one kind of playstation studios game, which is that third person cinematic type you're referring to. but then later you said Just Dance would help diversify their slate and my only response is if you care about diversifying their slate, then you should be on board with IPs like Persona & Yakuza.
