Not understanding this, can you elaborate? Are you saying SE will favor Nintendo over Sony or will it just be Sony+Nintendo?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't SE have an extremely close relationship with Nintendo at the time of FF7 and then they decided to jump ship to Sony for that game? I think Osiris is implying that studios, publishers or games that have been very close to certain platforms will either be making exclusive jumps to other platforms, or at the very least will become multiplat.

That's my guess at least. I don't know if it's related at all to that Zenimax rumor (and I use that term lightly in this case) since, from what I've heard they've been overall closer to Microsoft than Sony historically, but it's the only rumor on the table right now.

Yeah, that rumour does not make sense. If anything, they would be more likely to sell to Microsoft. Besides, I can't see how could Sony even afford them.

I hope CBOAT drops a bomb. I want to see the REE mods struggle to control that discussion. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Well what's their estimated value? I heard it was 2.5 billion a couple years ago, but I haven't seen anyone post a realistic estimate for their current value, probably because they're privately owned. Even if it were closer to 5 billion Sony can afford them if they really wanted it. It would be their biggest acquisition to date, but Sony acquired EMI for 2.3 billion just about a year ago and PlayStation pulls in WAY more money than their music division so I can see them being willing to invest more towards growth in that field.

iz this thng on??

Ahh, that infamous CBOAT. I'm afraid I never got to meet you back in the day during the launch of the current gen. In fact it took me days to figure out wtf your name meant and I couldn't stop laughing when I did :)

Welp, I'm curious what info you might decide to share. If, by some random chance you decide to comment on the 2 rumors today about the Zenimax acquisition and PS5 super enhanced BC then that would be super duper nifty! :)

What is their latest market cap? Their equity was only $2.5 billion in 2016.

That is doable to take on that publishing arm and developers. Doesn’t mean it will happen though.

On month a week or two and some days ..... stated earlier no one paid any attention.

Stating this again for emphasis
I'm even more confident that all of the this system is better than yours and industry bias towards certain companies is going to play out very differently this time around, as unfortunately things are going to get very Sony FFVII = Nintendo and SE relationship around here very soon.



499 you say

Are you saying square enix is pissed at Sony for whole ff7 leak and are thinking of jumping ship and abandoning Sony? Or are you implying there will be a third party consolidation like the PS2’s days to a certain company?
