Sony suunnittelee studio-ostoksia

Kuten eilen uutisoimme, Sony on ottanut pelit strategiansa kulmakiveksi. Samaan suuntaan tähyilee myös Sony Interactive Entertainmentia vetävä Jim Ryan.

Ryan kertoi Nikkeille (kiitokset käännöksestä Video Games Chroniclelle), että yhtiö tutkii mahdollisuutta uusien pelistudioiden ostamiseen. Erityisesti japanilainen pelitalo olisi Sonylle mieleen.

"We have been in the game business for 25 years and have big assets. It will be difficult for new entrants to have such a production company or title."

"As the subscriptions grow and reach more customers, I do think it's important for us to continue to invest in content. It's not every year that we'll add seven new studios, but I do think us looking at specific targets that we need is important."

"I think it would be nice if we found an Asian studio, in particular a Japanese studio, to add [to our studios]. I liked it when we had some first-party capability in Japan. We have a small team there, but I think we can do more."
