Sony SIE: actively looking for partners, acquiring third-party studios "is not the only option"

CTOnews.com, October 30, after Microsoft's successful acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many industry analysts believe that major game manufacturers will seek to acquire third-party studios in the future, so as to enhance their competitiveness.

Eric Lempel, head of Sony Entertainment at SIE, said in an interview with foreign media CNBC that Sony was more willing to find a "partner" and hinted that it would buy more studios to compete with Microsoft.

"Sony is actively looking for partners," said CNBCEric Lempel, a foreign ▲ source. "although there have been more acquisitions in the past decade than ever before, acquisitions are not the first choice, and we are more concerned about whether we can produce some good content."

CTOnews.com also found that Eric Lempel used Marvel Spider-Man 2 developer Insomnia Group as an example, claiming that the studio had worked well with Sony before it acquired the Insomnia Group. However, this also shows that Sony may have the intention to acquire the relevant studios after "good cooperation".
