Thought this was pretty interesting to share, Studio of David Cage is already hard at work on another PS3 exclusive but recently its been rumored that Sony is preparing and in the final stages with Quantic Dream to be aquired by Sony as a first party developer just like Media Molecule in 2009 the developer of Little Big Planet.

My thoughts? MS knows how to make money and Sony knows how to spend it.

Would be a smart decision for them, hopefully we get to see the next game from them very soon if true.

Seems logical I can see why Quantic dream would continue to want to use the ps3 as a movie medium.

Like Sony doesn't have enough first party studios. As long as QD are financially safe, it's good for them i guess.

Sony constantly buys studios and keeps them open. Media Molecule and, if this ends up being true, Quantic Dream are their latest acquirements.

Microsoft barely buys studios, but when they do, they close them down or strip them of their creativity.

Never a good thing when a studio is bought.

Fully understand why you might though. It's hard times right now and it's either going multiplatform, taking a very huge risk or being bought by a bigger company to ensure that if one game sold poorly it doesn't necessary kill you (unless you're bought by Activision).

That would piss me off. It destroys any possibility of them ever creating a multiplat again.

QD is a great studio, although I dunno if it's wise for Sony to get involved. Studios that drive their IPs based on risky gameplay elements and unusual thematic choices usually don't perform well when under the pressure of the giant corporate thumb. Then again, Sony's platforms have proved a breeding ground of unusual and unusually successful gameplay mechanics+games, so it could work, I just don't know if QD wants it to happen (unless it's a question of financing, then I understand).

Depends on the company that buys them.

From my understanding, Sony buys companies but at least takes very good care of them and barely if ever you hear them closing down a studio if ever. Microsoft on the other hand has done nothing but buy talent but strips them down and makes them do whatever they want (ex. Rare with Kinect) and closes studios like Bizarre, creators of the awesome Project Gotham Racing franchise. Nintendo, well I don't know, you never hear of Nintendo buying any companies, they always rely on their own first-party titles.

Hopefully after inFAMOUS 2 they will.

After Insomniac releases their multiplatform title I hope Sony comes to their senses and buys them already as well.

I believe SOE is a different division in Sony so their bottomline doesn't affect SCE.

Funny, I remember a time on SW's when MS was accused of "buying" exclusives. I guess if you spend enough time here, everything eventually turns into, "pot, meet kettle."

Now all we need is for Tetusya Nomura to make Kingdom Hearts 3, leave Square Enix, make his own Studio like the creator of Final Fantasy did.

I will be a very happy camper :D

from a business point of view its actually very smart, since the multiplats outshine exclusives this gen, but if they continue down this path while Sony keeps expanding their studios i can see microsoft hurting a lot next gen. They need to balance more with spending and saving

Multiplats do not outshine exclusives this gen, only 360 owners say that and for obvious reasons, as for it being a good business decision I disagree media molecule might of went multiplat were the entire demographic for QD is on ps3 a 360 port would be a waste of money and Sony is going to get the exclusives if they buy it or not
