The bear of bad news
Let's look at the math here
Sony purchases a smaller dev Insomniac for $229 million who have talent but little known IP
They now have a consistent 20 million selling IP in Spiderman
If for some crazy set of circumstances Capcom wanted to sell and Sony bought them it would cost them 5 billion dollars, and they only have a couple 10 million (at best) selling franchises that are less impressive even because they're multiplats.
MS's never ending pockets can afford them to make ridiculous purchases like 70 billion for COD.
A strategy that may be good for one is not good for the other.
Nintendo is breaking sales records for Switch with first party studios alone and a lot of those games are pretty low budget to make.
Playstation's brand value and development talent is what's going to see them through because all their first party franchises are starting to put up the big numbers
GOT 8 million
Horizon well over 10 million
GOW 20 million plus
Spiderman 20 million plus
