According to the latest bizarre acquisition rumor to surface online, Sony is looking to buy Rockstar's major publisher Take Two Interactive in a blockbuster deal. The deal is expected to be made in response to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
It's very hard to imagine this happening for a number of reasons, one of which could be that Take Two is a very large company, while Sony is not far behind it in terms of size, and the acquisition is likely to be very expensive, especially with the release of the most anticipated title, GTA 6, approaching.
Usually, such deals and news start with a simple rumor that can end up becoming reality. Last year, we heard some rumors that Microsoft was considering acquiring Activision until it became official, as we were all surprised by the news of the deal being announced.
The rumor of Sony acquiring Take Two was reported by MA cross-platform Rythian data analyst and insider Twitter, tweeting that he “has very good word” that Sony wants to buy Take-Two to counter Microsoft and Activision Blizzard’s deal. According to the leaker, his information comes from three “reliable and always correct sources.”
The same leaker says the acquisition will only happen if the deal with Microsoft is finalized. Activision, as it would be an appropriate response to the green giant's business. But if we think logically, we will find that Sony's policy is a little different from the policy of the company that publishes Rockstar games, and this also makes us discouraged about this happening.
In any case, we still do not know the reliability of this news, as we must be careful when circulating it, as the sources we have obtained are not sufficient to delve deeper into the matter.
