Sony's next move "Please Mr Microsoft, Buy our 1st party developers"

Well, i would personally say this is a poor prediction.sumner1456

if the state of the worlds economy continues don't expect MS to actually want to buy them. They'll have their own problems to deal with and won't want to take on someone elses.BumFluff122

First Microsoft has been closing it's own first part studios... What makes you think they want to buy any more studios... especially those that were underperformed?

Second... NO.

But I doubt Sony will sell its developers since those studios are doing good not aswell as Sony expected because they thought they would be selling 120 Million Consoles again.

You do realize, MS has more money than BOTH SONY and Nintendo COMBINED, right?

[QUOTE="Nagidar"][QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]If Sony is going to sell its developers it would either be to a 3rd Party developer or someone who can afford it. If Sony does sell it to a First Party it will be Nintendo since Nintendo can actually afford them without shutting them down.

Do you honestly think SONY would care what happens to their gaming division after its sold? SONY is a buisiness, as long as they are satisfied with the amount of money they receive, they won't care, they would sell to the highest bidder.

I predict sony will bring a kick in the teeth too m$ in 2009.dattruth4real

MS will want to buy them for sure. The only way of this happening is if Killzone 2, God of War 3, GT5, and Uncharted 2 sell like R2 and Little Big Planet

And imo, after sales, I can confidently say theres a good chance Valkrie Chronicles is going to the 360

You're misunderstanding, re-read my post, I said and I quote myself: "Do you honestly think SONY would care what happens to their gaming division after its sold?"

AFTER its sold.

Wha Waaa, Sony sucks, Wha waa Sony sucks but by the way could we possibly get MS to buy your 1st party devs so we can play your games!!!

Just buy a dang ps3 already if you are worried about playing ps3 games. If you don't want to do that then stop these threads and get MS to actually pony up for some 1st party ip's instead of $50million on dlc, which by the way isn't much cheaper than what KZ2 is cost Sony and GG to make lol.

And all these Sony and ps3 is failing threads is just idiotic sorry but it is.

First it was PS3 was a bluray player only then it was the PS3 has no games, then PS3 had no good games, and now its on to Sales lol. Give it up Lemmings your excuses are running out more than ever.

MS probably isn't going to buy developers anytime soon, and especially not sony's. In fact, they're ditching 1st party devs at a fast pace right now, or letting them go. If MS would care in any way for 1st party developers, they would have never let bungie and ensemble go. Most likely they'll focus on 2nd party (or something like that) devs, getting an exclusivity contract with them, and publishing their games with MGS. So I'm not saying MS isn't going to buy anything, but it'll be exclusivity deals rather than developer companies.

They've done things like that a lot already by the way. How many games have we seen now that were first exclusive to PS3, and later multiplat? I wouldn't be surprised if MS paid some money on the side for that.

And Geez, how many here remember going into this gen that No console makes money until atleast its 3rd year on the market. The difference in this gen is that MS put a over priced, old technology, not tested console on the market and has made money even after paying out its 3 million for the RRod.

Yall laugh at Sony but in the end its MS and yourselves that you should be laughing at if supporting the business practices of MS. THEY KNEW THEY HAD FAULTY HARDWARE ISSUES AND STILL PUT IT ON THE MARKET. Go ahead and feel very proud about supporting a company like that while you laugh at a company not making money on a reliable piece of hardware that its customers can enjoy and use as technology advances into the future that it is already for.

Its a shame lemmings take jabs at a company for not handing out a unreliable console just to make money and to milk its costumers.

[QUOTE="Nagidar"][QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]

Of course they care. For a business like Sony the economics don'' just boil down to "how much many can I make off this sale". They have to consider if there's any future profitibilty and value in an asset, and then weigh that against what they'd gain from selling. Teufelhuhn

The right choice in selling is selling to the highest bidder, do you actually think they would sell (IF they would sell) to a lower bidder? No, they wouldn't, if they're going to sell, they would have no control over it after its sold anyway, which means they wouldn't care since they were going to sell in the first place.

Dude I just had to say this. Your sig is full of win. Anywho TC must be on some serious drugs to even think this.

MS is cutting their own first party studios, why would they buy Sony's?carljohnson3456
