True and I don't think Konami has any studios left, correct?

That is a talking point, not a problem. Bungie's teams still know how to make a shooter that feels good. This is certainly about revenue too, but ignoring their technology as it relates to shooters is insane.
I'm cracking up at the posts about departed talent. Was Destiny PS a stealth exclusive all along? It's the only way the departed talent talking point makes any sense.

You know what would crack me up. Is if Microsoft and Sony are secretly having calls and meetings like " apple and tencent, Facebook, they are trying to get into gaming…..let's just all buy as much shit as we can and keep everything multi platform between us so these fucks can't force their way in"
that's my dream anyway.

You had one job Sony….
Yes Sony doesn't purchase publishers and 3rd party IP like MS does, but to protect other 3rd party Ip's being bought by MS, Sony needs to do the same.
But Bungie?? Fuck me Jim is so out of touch. Bungie have no relevant IP. Or loved much.
They could of bought Square, Sega, Capcom for a bit more money.
Bungie….. ffs Sony

It's been set up more like a partnership which is a good way to do it if you are going to bring something under your umbrella that has a big history with other platforms.

Phil isn't mad. For some reason Bungie is still multiplatform under Sony. Not sure why?

Much like MS got into a war with Sony and Nintendo that they just can't win.

You doubting sony budget for acqusitions in a post where i was talking about M having more money felt self-explanatory to me...
Why even argue if sony has 18 or 180 b if the point was just M having even more money because you know...they are the far richer company...

Yeah no doubt they are playing chess.
Sony are a very proud company they even fucked off Nintendo and made there own console (ps1) after planning to release a cd-rom Snes.
Also the folks at playstation are very proud and competitive, they want to win.

This is a very good acquisition by Sony. Bungie is one of the top-tier FPS developer in the world and they have a track-record in being able to create universes with lore that consumers fall in love with. This also fills a void in Sony's line-up that was severely lacking and would have been disastrous once COD leaves PlayStation behind in a few years. Will Sony's big exclusive be Destiny 3 or a brand new IP however? This is the big question.

Would've never thought Sony would go after Bungie. As the only notable IP that Bungie owns is Destiny.
Capcom would've provided a lot more market diversity as well as IP value. But now it's clear that Sony knows its weaknesses and prefers being an all rounder instead.
Definitely not a bad get and it's safe to assume that Bungie now has at least 1 new big IP in development on the level of Destiny if not higher.
Generally excited bout this acquisition and for sure an amazing counter to the Activision Blizzard deal.

Currently 46k players on Destiny 2 on Steam alone.
The boner for Sony to buy Capcom on GAF when they don't have a single game in their catalogue that fills a hole for Sony. Pretty funny.

Yep, PS exclusive, but it guarantees Sony has now shifted to day and day for PC and PS consoles going forward. No way Bungie is launching a game that isn't on both console and PC simultaneously. So it means no more Xbox most likely, but it means Playstation and PC. Unless Sony is allowing Bungie to publish games onto Xbox themselves at their own expense.

$3.6 billion for Bungie is great bang for your buck compared to $70 billion for Activision, but compared to some of the alternatives ($4-5 billion for Capcom for instance) it is a bit pricy

This dick measuring is pointless. MS has always been a far richer company than Sony ever since they released the first xbox. It hasn't mattered all that much when it comes to who's been objectively winning for 20 years.

I wouldn't say Destiny is irrelevant. Long in the tooth, yes, but as far I know a loooot people still play it.
That said I agree that buying Square or Sega would have been more interesting

And I tell you such companies change their planes to react to the counterparts strategies. I never argued for a second Sony has the same financial situation of MS. Where do you read it in my post.

They're saying Destiny 2 will stay on all platforms it's already on, not that future Destiny games will. It's just like MS and COD.

Under Sony, based on published information, they are still going to be able to act independently.

Good for Playstation, but Bungie has fallen off the horse as a studio for me, personally.

every company isnt eager to sell. 3.6 for bungie means they offered them more than they could refuse. The others you listed probably closer to 7-10 billion in a sellers market.This is almost the same price as Konami, Capcom, SE and SEGA, WTF Sony are doing bro holy shit
WHY BUNGIE, just WHY FFS, SMH

Again with the goalpost moving...who the hell was even talking about being more succesful??

This looks a pretty terrible deal unless Sony was just aiming for Bungie internal develop tech.

Basically, what Konami has left is it's IP, specifically, It's good, valuable IP, but no dev will want to buy a company with no talent left to make the games; it'd be cheaper to just rent the IP license if you really want to work with it..

Do we have any numbers on how many players it has, it's concurrents or MAUs. I don't think it's been at the forefront of many gamers minds for some time.
maybe I'm wrong.
