Sony merging film and game divisions

>Sony Corp. is weighing a restructuring of its US operations, The Post has learned.

>The Tokyo-based electronics and entertainment giant is having conversations about placing its struggling Sony Pictures Entertainment under its larger and more profitable gaming division, sources said.

>The move, if made, will result in Andrew House, the head of Sony Interactive Entertainment, its gaming unit, gaining oversight over but likely not daily control of the studio, which sits at No. 5 in box office receipts this year, sources said.

Smart move, Sony movies are even shittier than their games in recent years.

>considering
Once they do, post about it then

RIP Sony
This is worse than promoting Amy Pascal. They need to just kill the film branch before it chokes the rest of the brand.

How about they just shoot Sony Pictures in the fucking head and just give their funding to Playstation?

Either way can Sony Pictures just please go away

They can't just kill off every single one of their businesses that's struggling because then it'd be pretty much SCE.

SIE

And they don't have to sell all of them off, just their god awful movie business

>Playstation will suffer the death of both Sega AND Squaresoft combined with shitty upgrades and flop movies

Couldn't wish for a more better death.

But nintendo is already first in line with Xbone 2nd.

That's what you nervous Sony shills want us to think. Now go make another anti Switch thread or whatever.

What do you get when you merge a division which only makes shit with a game division that never makes any games?

A division which doesn't do shit

Isn't this already happened?

>movies and gamer merging
isn't this just a formality at this point?

Merging films with films? Brilliant.

But games are already too cinematic

Memes aside, how much more profitable is gaming industry compared to the movie industry?

>sony "games"
Top kek, no such thing exists.

Pfft, they did that ages ago.

If we take the 50 million at face value, then it's the only facet of their gaming department that's successful.

...

Movie industry is still ludicriously more profitable.

You just have to not make shit movies (or if they are bad, make sure they pander to the right people).

Sony keeps on backing one bomb after the other, no wonder they don't care about their film division.

Pixels, Sausage Party, etc.

DIIIIEEEEE

Yea now post the rest of the game instead of a 10-second clip

Totes dude. I played SM64 and all you see is some guy on a cloud flying around... Turned it off after that, nice "game" Nintards

>Sony """"""film"""""" division
Their games are already better movies than those abortions they play in theaters.

>Underage kiddies reaching this hard

wew lad

What? So it's over then? Just like that, Sony lost?

Are we just waiting for it to be official or something? I thought you guys pounced on rumors like there's no tomorrow.

>1:1 same cinematic running section for gameplay
>lol move the goalpost older games weren't trying to be cinematic at all they had gameplay!

Ya PS4 only sold more than the xbone and wiiu. The Wiiu did so bad that Nintendo had to abandon it mid generation to make a new console, but that doesn't mean anything right?

>NYPost

>the same Sony studio making a Barbie movie starring Amy Schumer

It's like they want to tank the only profitable division in their company.

This is the only way they can achieve Super Mario on their console.

ARE YOU READY FOR MORE VIDEO GAME MOVIES?
I SURE AM!

This is gonna be so bad, yet so enjoyable.
Imagine an uncharted movie with mark wahlberg or a last of us movie with kiefer sutherland or how about a god of war movie with christian slater HOLY SHIT the possibilites are endless.

The WiiU is 5 years old, this gen is over and the winner is the 3DS

nobody will tell the difference

Didn't they already do this?

you call that an opinion?

I haven't really watched any movies in the past 15 years. Is Sony's movie division better than their games?

>everyone hating on sony fanbase.
>during ps3 era xbox fans were the worst fanbase and were literally manchildren and children.
>xbox sucks this generation and everyone moved to ps4
>sony is now worst fanbase.

Really makes you think.

>Amy Schumer doing feminist games.

I smell failure for Sony in the future.

Sony is just a completely retarded company. Remember when they brought back the Walkman last year and charged 1000 dollars for it

Wiiu is 4 years last November. And they and others publishers abandoned it way before.

Well Sony's game division does make better movies than their movie division so that's something
