With Microsoft slapping cash in big publisher's face some people and analysts think Sony needs or will buy publishers to defend themselves but I think otherwise.
I think they just need to buy smaller developers they already work with, give them resources and nurture them into bigger (or better) companies. They have been doing this for decades this happened with Naughty Dog and Insomniac and now they have Bend and Bluepoint trying to make even better games.
I know a lot of developers have closed down, but you win some you lose some, that's just life.
Sony already publishes a lot of games, publishing means a lot more than moneyhatting like a lot of people think. Quality control, deadlines, advertising etc. sometimes even go as far as co-development, or sharing resources like Guerrilla sharing their engine with Kojima Productions.
The list of developers I think is good for them to aquire are: Quantic Dream (Detroit), Kojima Production (But Kojima said he doesn't want to), Thatgaamecompany (Journey), Arrorhead (Helldivers) and Team Ninja.
