Sony Plans to Strengthen PS5 Exclusives Lineup by Purchasing Studios
During a recent investor meeting, Sony CEO Jim Ryan noted that they plan to strengthen the exclusives lineup for PlayStation 5 by investing in first-party studios. They will do this "through oranic growth and acquisitions." It is worth pointing out that the last major acquisition that Sony made was back in 2011 when they bought Sucker Punch Productions, who are known for the likes of Infamous and Sly Cooper as well as the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima.
There's no telling exactly who Sony has in mind when it comes to potential acquisitions, especially considering Ryan didn't go into any specifics regarding the subject. However, there's a good chance they might have their eyes on Insomniac Games, who many now know for their work on Marvel's Spider-Man, which is exclusive to PlayStation 4. They are also the devs responsible for hit franchises such as Ratchet & Clank and Resistance.
It's definitely interesting to see Sony wanting to invest even more in first-party studios, but it's probably not a bad idea to gear up for the next generation of hardware. This could also very well be a response to Microsoft's acquisition spree over the past couple of years, which saw them pick up the likes of Ninja Theory, Obsidian Entertainment, and many more. Either way, it will be fascinating to see who Sony has in mind as we gain ground on the PS5's launch.

why they have a killer exclusives already they killed microsoft this gen and will do it again next gen.
unless microsofts exclusives are xbox only i dont see how the xbox 362 is gonna be a success since they are putting all their xbox games on pc anyways, so sony has no reason for buying more studios since they would be the only console brand next to nintendo
