Take-Two Interactive Software TTWO, +5.30%stock climbed 4.7% on rumors that Sony Corp. SNE, +0.93% “is in advanced board level discussions to acquire Take-Two Interactive in a mostly cash deal,” that would value the company at $130 share, according to Joel Kulina, head of technology and media trading at Wedbush Securities.

BELIEVE IT!

Hermits and lemmings on suicide watch if true

From the same link, Take 2 Market Cap is 10.2B and Sony at 58.8B so Take 2 is worth just under 1/6th of Sony. If Take 2 is available, then its more likely that MSFT would purchase given their actual cash reserve and market cap of 878.28B which is roughly 80 times that of Take 2 and 15 times that of Sony. If it went to a bidding war then Sony would struggle to complete with MS, Apple, Amazon or Alphabet should they be interested in acquiring. I would also find it unlikely that Take 2 would be willing to sell to Sony or indeed MS as they are far too profitable as is.

Could also be a merger.

What benefit would that be to Take 2? They aren't short of cash and when RDR 2 Online gets going and leaves Beta then the cashflow will only increase. Also in a merger, Take 2 major shareholders would take board seats at Sony.

Music is obviously very subjective. I love the Nier Automata soundtrack from this generation. I think this from Halo 3 is one of the best in gaming.

Based on the gameplay from Sony E3; I think this looks mediocre at best, ignore the story for now, the gameplay shown wasn’t good and certainly not in the same league as TLOU 2 reveal. I think Kojima has went downhill with MGS 5, it’s not a 10/10 game and the episodes which ended with credits being run like a movie, seriously? Loved the other MGS games, this one just felt 7/10 to me.

Death Stranding next reveal has to really step it up for me.

I don’t get the hype for this game, it looks so empty and barren and the gameplay shown has been poor. The last of us 2 is clearly head and shoulders above this drivel and I can really see why people are hyped for that game.

I really liked the look of tlou2, very impressive and well done but I thought that Death Stranding looks like garbage and nothing in that showing to warrant the hype it seems to be getting. Big barren areas with nothing happening! Looks a class below the tlou2. Ghosts of Tsushima looks interesting.

To those that say less than 60fps is poor; I suppose if you look out your window, and instead of seeing that BMW 320D car you own, you must have the fastest M3 model as anything less is not worthwhile.

The gaming market is changing and while single player games are good, there is a shift towards multiplayer and online at that and then comes a different measurement metric. Consumer hours engaged, online consumer hours and revenue generated from consumer hours.

An example of this is sell 30 million switch consoles with 26 million copies of single player story driven exclusive, it doesn’t make it additional income bar the original purchase. Something like fortnite, 20 million downloads played online for 10 hours per player on average week and 20% of those players spend £5 on in game content every month.

So to sum this thread up, we have two, probably three guys with fake pc builds, one of whom has income on a different level to everyone else, who also has a magic subwoofer and unfortunate enough to suffer from eyesight problems as he thinks nothing looks better than god of war. Maybe he should use that disposable income and look to have lasik surgery or st least upgrade from Ted Baker glasses to Tom Ford...

Why not have a simple trade off, a moderator sets the conditions for the pc posting, what the pics need to entail and Zaryia, giovela and quadnight kindly comply, if they don’t, they have their accounts permanently disabled. This solves it once and for all.

I will tell you the outcome now, the three won’t post any pics.

@rafaelmsoares:

While it is obviously not the same it doesn’t mean that just because the figures reported don’t state the profit made does not mean profit wasn’t made. You can say you made 346% profit compared to last year but it all depends what profit you made or lost last year, same for revenue increases. 346% increase on previous £1 is £4.46 or 200% profit on £2 returns £5 (scale up).

All smoke and mirrors by all companies and only relevant to proper investors.
