The cash isn’t for Sony PlayStation acquisitions solely
It began with a Morgan Stanley convention late final month that Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki was part of. As noticed by ResetEra, Totoki was quizzed in regards to the 2 trillion yen the corporate had put apart for acquisitions, and he revealed that 1.3 trillion yen had been spent by the top of 2022. That leaves 0.7 trillion yen (about $5.1 billion) for acquisitions throughout the subsequent yr.
Right here’s the issue: the funds Totoki is referring to isn’t for PlayStation acquisitions solely. They’re for the entire of Sony Group. In different phrases, whereas it’s enjoyable speculating, it’s not set in stone that Sony can be splashing no matter it has left over on shopping for online game studios.
