Sony may acquire new studios in the future

Yesterday we reported that games are "more important than ever" for Sony's strategy moving forward, and now Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and president Jim Ryan has spoken to Nikkei (as brought to us in English by Video Games Chronicle) about the possibility of acquiring new studios.

"We have been in the game business for 25 years and have big assets," Ryan said. "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."

Would you like to see Sony acquire more studios, much like Microsoft has done with those like Ninja Theory?
