I løbet af det seneste års tid har Microsoft for alvor købt stort ind, og har opkøbt en række studier i et forsøg på at forøge kvaliteten og kvantiteten af store eksklusive titler. Sony har allerede en stor familie af førstepartsstudier, men kunne det tænkes at også denne gruppe kunne udvikle sig?
For nylig deltog PlayStation-chefen Shawn Layden i et interview med CNET, hvor han slog fast at Sony altid er åbne overfor køb af nye studier.
"We're always exploring opportunities. If we found a partner or a team or a game that we felt was particularly meaningful and interesting in a service area, we will look to bring that in. We're always open to that kind of experience. We try to make it really easy for our teams to focus on what our vision is for the future. And we have simplified it to "first, best or must."
"If your title is going to be "first" and creating a genre, or "first" and creating a new game activity, let's look at that. If you're going to make an action adventure game, It better be "best" in class. And we have the third category called "must," which is we must support the platform, we must be present when new technology comes out."
Åbenbart var opfyldte Quantic Dream ikke disse kriterier. Hvem mon kunne tænkes at blive købt i fremtiden?
