How Sony's Bungie Buy Fits Into Its Larger PlayStation Plans

[GZ Crew]

January couldn’t end with at least one more massive gaming acquisition it seems. Just a few short weeks after Xbox’s industry-shaking announcement of its plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, Sony has announced its decision to purchase Destiny developer Bungie; not as massive, but nonetheless monumental.

Immediately after the news, there was a lot of chatter framing it as an immediate, knee-jerk counter to Xbox, as if the two publishing giants were playing a game of tennis (of course, that's not how acquisitions work).

I see Sony’s acquisition of Bungie as a clear encapsulation of Sony’s ambitions for the PlayStation brand we have seen over the last few years, and will likely only continue to see as the years progress.

I think the details behind this acquisition is very interesting. It doesn't seem to me like they want to boost there platform more than they want to boost the bottom line, and that's a fine strategy.

Short term i don't expect much to change, but, with Bungie in Sony's control, they could always change as they seem fit

made a video on it too (of course):

I think the immediate game in peoples minds here now seeing as this would not involve the Halo game series is Destiny.

Mate, the amount of PlayStation Diehards I've seen talking on how they "took" Halo
Really disturbing how deluded some are, especially as some of them are seen as influencers as well, they should know better
