But nevertheless, merging more video game companies to their name wouldn't make Sony that competitive. They don't need those things, all they should focus on is 'quality and bringing new development all together to their platforms and video games, definitely they'll remain at their position as one of the best tech and video game company around. Expand Did anyone know that they would be acquiring Activision-Blizzard? How sure are you that they are not making another big move behind another company? They might even be chasing Ubisoft deal. Asking me to get you a company they might buy is something you should look for yourself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 You have a very good point here because Sony might be delaying or too sluggish to close the deal and Microsoft would take them out if they have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going for another big company like Ubisoft will be a welcomed one, but I think the acquisition of Activision blizzard should yield fruits before another pursuit of a gaming studio.
