From the same guy that said this:

Report: Sony Contacted All Major Third Parties for Exclusivity Deals, Offered More Money Than Microsoft

Report: Sony Contacted All Major Third Parties for Exclusivity Deals, Offered More Money Than Microsoft Kinda Funny’s Imran Khan said: There isn’t a major third party out there Sony failed to approach asking what kind of deals they could work out. Some had content, some had games, some had...

SEGA!

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

It is a Wednesday I guess

 

[MScarpa]

Let's GOOOOOO!!

 

[reinking]

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Targeting is the perfect word to describe this, “Who’s ready to die from irrelevance in your home country!!!”

 

[Nankatsu]

Hope the publishers give them the good old Essense of the Flipping Bird.

 

[Jaybe]

Aren’t don’t??
Last sentence doesn’t make sense. All of these acquisitions are for the Game Pass machine.

 

[RaZoR No1]

MS is buying Sony!
You heard it here first dudes!

Will these rumours help with the ABK aquisition?

 

[Black_Stride]

Its Wednesday.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I mean.....isn't everyone?

 

[I Master l]

Imran Khan talking out of his ass again

 

[adamsapple]

I mean.....isn't everyone?

Yes. This is just reaffirming what we all already know.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Sony or Nintendo

 

[//DEVIL//]

I wrote so many words before I deleted them just to write and delete again.

So I’ll keep it simple and polite as much as I can So here it goes. Fuck these wanna be insiders . Don’t fucking talk simple logical things a 12 years think about and claim you are an insider .

People here should really stop promoting these idiots by giving them a platform here.

Sure GAF isn’t as big as a twitter yet but this is still a platform and these attention whores love that attention.


Here is an insider news. Sony is in talk with Japanese devs to buy them

You want more juicy news ? Nintendo is developing its Nintendo switch 2. They are considering calling it super switch or SS for short …

Please no one make threads about these things anymore. Unless they were a legit leaker like the snitch was before he got busted like an idiot, don’t mention his or her name.

Fuck man…

 

[Punished Miku]

Imran Khan talking out of his ass again

He's probably #2 behind Schreir in terms of being an annoying SJW, but also having accurate insider info.

 

[Kurimao]

SEGA, Platinum Games and ex Sony guys.

 

[nominedomine]

Buy Nintendo and Sony already so everyone can move on to Steam and forget about consoles.

 

[TheGodfather07]

He's probably #2 behind Schreir in terms of being an annoying SJW, but also having accurate insider info.

What accurate information did he have? I've never even heard of this guy.

 

[lh032]

if im not mistaken we did have a rumor Sony is going to acquire a big publisher as well few months ago?
we should just wait for all these acquisitions to happen. too many insiders with too many rumors.

 

[Banjo64]

I just don’t get the hardon for Japanese devs. MS just need to embrace their Western roots and forget about this folly. Doing what they are currently doing (getting some games like Dragon Quest, Yakuza, Octopath etc.) is the best thing for them to do.

 

[johnjohn]

Phil has said himself that they are looking to make acquisitions in Japan, so this isn't really a rumour.

 

[Punished Miku]

What accurate information did he have? I've never even heard of this guy.

Let me pull up my Imran Khan notebook so I can show you detailed info of every thing he's tweeted correctly, arranged in order of impact relevance. Here it is. Take a look.

Spoiler

I don't know anything specifically, but he was on Game Informer for years and is a source of dozens and dozens of articles. I forget the specifics, but he's connected and lives in San Francisco.

 

[Saber]

Not giving any reason to believe in such a rumor, but I would rather not have Sony or Microsoft touch them and infect them with stupid policies and western bullcrap. Let them do their games/art free of their bullshit ideas.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Sony and Nintendo

Ftfy.

 

[Strider Highwind]

They're about to buy Krystals and sell green littles sammiches, im all for it lol

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Yep.......Jeff and Greg with the SE rumors. It's all starting to get old with these insiders.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

"Phil Spencer CEO of gaming along with Satya Nadella CEO of MS have made it clear that they aren’t don’t acquiring Studios, Publishers and content to feed the Gamepass machine"

Can someone translate? Apparently grammar isn't necessary these days to Tweet

 

[DaGwaphics]

Moving on to a whole new level vague, am I right?

I think it's just a basic understanding that MS is no where near finished purchasing content. They've said as much. Not sure how that counts as a prediction or inside information at this point.

 

[ACESHIGH]

MS should talk to Konami to license their dormant IPs. That's the scenario where gamers win the most, instead of acquisitions. Hell MS should buy Konami IPs. They can focus on casinos, hotels and pachinko.

I think it's meant to say "aren't done".

You said he's reliable but don't know a single thing about what he was correct about? So in other words, he's full of shit like most of these other fake insiders in the industry. He's saying the most obvious shit. How is any of this inside information?

Certainly.

MS have made it clear that they aren't-

The rumor was misguided, it was thought Sony was buying SE but instead it was SE selling off their Western studios to Embracer. Sony buying a big publisher right now goes against Jimmyboy's recent statements so they'll have to wait until the ABK deal closure is a for sure thing, anyway.

On topic, this isn't new or surprising. Phil has stated his interest in Japan for a long time now and he has only increased his mentions of similar things lately, even explicitly saying that the pending ABK acquisition has no bearing on their future acquisitions and they're not looking to stop.

These "insiders" are just regurgitating known info or embellishing current rumors.

but i thought SE sold off western studio to Embracer because SE looking to offload the "cost" before acquired by Sony? but then its just rumors./

I said he's connected and has broken stories for years on Game Informer and on twitter. I can't recall from memory what he reports on because I'm not a loser who commits Imran Khan stories to memory. If you want to know feel free to google his name.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I mean...yes I'm sure they are. Like Sony is. Who knows if more companies are.

Both Sony and MS have mentioned acquisition season isn't over.

 

[drganon]

Hopefully they all told Microsoft to fuck off.

 

[Captain Toad]

I hope it goes better than when they asked Nintendo about buying them.

 

[tusharngf]

Phil in Japan !! YAY

 

[Skifi28]

Just buy Nintendo and put switch on gamepass.

 

[Swift_Star]

Nothing relevant will be bought by MS in Japan, but they have to keep the fanbase engaged I guess...

Keep telling yourself that lol. I'm sure you saw the Activision acquisition coming too.

Than why did you claim he was only behind Jason shreier in having credible information? Then you don't even know what he was right about? Come on now. Than you get annoyed by being asked because you can't answer properly?

I get your point. I can't recall his stories specifically. Game Informer's been around a long time. I forgot. I just remember he's reported on shit to the point that I noticed. But this thread is about pretty vague and basic stuff anyway. I could predict this one.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

 

[Swift_Star]

Keep telling yourself that lol. I'm sure you saw the Activision acquisition coming too.

Like I said: keeping the fanbase engaged is vital for MS. You can keep salivating for a SEGA buyout, but it's not happening...

 

[The_Mike]

MS is buying Sony!
You heard it here first dudes!

Isn't Sony more American now than Japanese?
