Casual 726 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) https://www.marketwatch.com/story/stock-market-poised-for-tepid-rise-but-dow-remains-under-pressure-amid-boeing-737-8-woes-2019-03-13 Seems kinda insane but maybe it's dat google pressure? Quote Take-Two Interactive Software TTWO, +5.30% stock climbed 4.7% on rumors that Sony Corp. SNE, +0.93% “is in advanced board level discussions to acquire Take-Two Interactive in a mostly cash deal,” that would value the company at $130 share, according to Joel Kulina, head of technology and media trading at Wedbush Securities.

Purist 134 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bold move if true. Don’t think it will happen though, this sounds like MS acquiring EA rumors. It would literally bankrupt Sony to make this acquisition lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So let me get this straight, Bethesda and R* would release their games exclusively on Sony consoles now? That'd be insane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 BTW, if this is true it'd follow with that alleged Borderlands 3 announcement coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voidler 1,675 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Won’t be true but would be a good fit for Sony getting more SP blockbusters like GTA, RDR, Bioshock. And an MP juggernaut like GTA Online. Plus MLB fits well in the 2K Sports portfolio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,026 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 More than 10 billion dollars to buy them.. I don't see that happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't know if Sony has the money to afford Take Two. They have a Market Capitalization of 9.85 Billion. Sony might have about $13 billion in cash. If they did they, it would prove that they really are abandoning all of their other business and shifting to just TV/movies and video games. This would return Sony back to the PS2 days. This would be bad news for Microsoft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It might if the market gets filled up with Google, Amazon, Apple etc Content will win in the end probably one of the few publishers guaranteed a return on investment with the sales of GTA too Edited March 13, 2019 by Voidler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If Google is able to get the next GTA streaming, there's going to be enough casual gamers who will try it out, and if it plays okay enough, then they don't care playing it streaming to their phone or TV, they don't care if the picture quality is immaculate 4K. Its a full-fledged GTA. That's actually a worse scenario that there being an Xbox version that only sells 50% of the Playstation version. By buying GTA, Sony still sends the message that a traditional home console is the one that plays "the real traditional games" and the other services don't have that. 2K Sports games may mean that Sony has locked up most of the licensed NBA, MLB, and NHL games, thereby just leaving NFL and FIFA. Its the biggest thing they can afford with the money they have. They probably wouldn't have enough money to buy out Activision, or even Ubisoft, and EA simply isn't worth buying these days.

lynux3 2,052 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 This would be the first megaton in a very long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Sony can't afford Take Two lol, their market cap is over 1/6th of the entirety of Sony itself. Edited March 13, 2019 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,550 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Surely not true, T2 is massive, don't think Sony would realistically afford them. Crazy ass rumour though and it is this type of acquisition that would actually be a megaton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I'd rather have MS buy them and just keep them multiplat. I'd rather they increase their first party output, by a lot. If this is somehow possible, and they have the $$$, this is not a good thing for Playstation owners.
