Renowned analyst Michael Packter talked to the portal Gaming Bolt about the company’s prospects Sony at the dawn of the launch of a new console generation.
In particular, Pakter believes that it would be prudent for Sony to respond to the purchase by the corporation Microsoft company ZeniMax Media… More precisely, the analyst considers the acquisition Warner Bros. Interactive or parts thereof beneficial to Playstation…
“Before [Sony] was not marked by excessively large purchases. From the latter, she bought Insomniac Games. Therefore, in the future, probably, something similar should be expected.
But I think Sony is now in a fairly favorable environment to buy Warner Bros. Interactive or parts of it. Depending on what the parent company AT&T is interested in selling.
If the conversation turns to the sale of licenses for intellectual property, then such a deal is unlikely to take place – [Warner Bros.] has little interest in artificially limiting its games to one platform. But if we are talking about full rights to such franchises as Batman or Mortal Kombat, they can become a very tasty morsel for Sony. Games that fit perfectly into her own library. With Spider-Man, that’s exactly what happened. It is clear that Sony is interested in similar capabilities. “
Pakter is aware that Warner Bros. no one is going to sell, but he believes that this issue can be raised in the future, especially looking at how investors were able to gain 7.5 billion at once for ZeniMax.
“I didn’t think too deeply about such a scenario, especially after confirming that no one is going to sell WB. But looking at the story of Bethesda, which went for $ 7.5 billion, it is quite reasonable that AT&T is also asking the question – can we can we get our 7 billion? ”explains Michael Packter.
The analyst also commented on Sony’s initiative to acquire temporary exclusives. For example, a deal on Final Fantasy XVI he considers weak. According to his observations, such games today are not large system sellers, and Sony has no problems with Japanese developments anyway – all large studios make games for its consoles, many series are associated with the PlayStation themselves.
“Final Fantasy may be important as a system seller in Japan, but the Japanese don’t buy the Xbox, so Sony has nothing to worry about at all. It won’t lose those games.”
