Following the sale of SE's western studio yesterday, foreign media reporter Jeff Grubb revealed that the rumored "big acquisition" was Sony's acquisition of se. Of course, he can't prove the truth of the rumor himself, and he doesn't know it. He also stressed that such rumors are very fragile because of the high risk of disclosing these large-scale transactions in advance. In addition, there is always the possibility that the transaction will fail before the last minute.
Nevertheless, if Sony really plans to buy it, a more "streamlined" square Enix may be more attractive.
Before that, the Japanese company often engaged in limited time monopoly with Sony PS platform, such as final fantasy 7: Remaking and curse land.
In other words, even if Sony finally acquired square Enix, it does not mean that it will monopolize all se games on the Playstation platform. Sony is investing more in the PC market, which is one of them. Second, after acquiring Bungie, Sony has agreed to keep Bungie's current and future games multi platform.
At present, the market value of se is $4.864 billion, which is very suitable for Sony, which has $10 billion in acquisition cash reserves. In any case, this will be a turning point for Sony, because the company once owned 18.6% of square Enix and then slowly sold all its shares before April 2014.
