Sony洽谈收购日本巨头角川集团,以拓展娱乐版图

Sony或将收购拥有《艾尔登法环》和《勇者斗恶龙》版权的角川集团

据报道,索尼正在与日本大型集团角川株式会社进行收购谈判,旨在“壮大其娱乐产品组合”。目前,索尼已持有角川2%的股份,以及角川旗下工作室FromSoftware(以其广受好评的魂系游戏《艾尔登法环》而闻名)14.09%的股份。

向其他媒体形式扩张

科技巨头索尼正与日本大型集团角川株式会社进行早期收购谈判,旨在“丰富其娱乐产品组合”。索尼目前已持有角川2%的股份,以及角川控股工作室FromSoftware(《艾尔登法环》、《装甲核心》)的14.09%股份。

收购角川将极大地造福索尼,因为该集团拥有多家子公司,包括FromSoftware(《艾尔登法环》、《装甲核心》)、Spike Chunsoft(《勇者斗恶龙》、《宝可梦不可思议迷宫》)和Acquire(《八方旅人》、《马里奥与路易吉RPG》)。此外,在游戏领域之外,角川集团还以其众多媒体制作公司而闻名,这些公司涉足动画制作、书籍和漫画出版。

此次收购无疑将实现索尼在娱乐领域的战略目标,将其业务扩展到其他媒体形式。正如路透社所指出的那样,“索尼集团希望通过收购获得作品和内容的版权,使其利润结构不那么依赖于热门作品。”如果一切顺利,协议可能会在2024年底签署。然而,截至发稿时,索尼和角川均拒绝就此事发表评论。

角川股价大幅上涨,但粉丝们却担忧

受此消息影响,角川股价创历史新高,日涨幅达23%,触及每日涨停。在路透社报道该消息之前,股价为3032日元,此后上涨至4439日元。索尼股价也上涨了2.86%。

然而,网民对这一消息的反应褒贬不一,许多人表达了对索尼及其近期收购的担忧,这些收购的未来前景并不乐观。最近的例子是索尼于2023年中收购的Firewalk工作室突然关闭,仅仅一年后,由于其多人射击游戏《Concord》的反响不佳而倒闭。即使拥有像《艾尔登法环》这样备受赞誉的IP,粉丝们也担心索尼的收购会影响FromSoftware及其作品。

其他人则从动漫和媒体的角度来看待此事,如果这笔交易成功,像索尼这样的科技巨头将垄断西方动漫的发行。索尼目前拥有热门动漫流媒体网站Crunchyroll,而获得《辉夜大小姐想让我告白》、《Re:从零开始的异世界生活》和《美味监狱》等一系列热门IP的访问权限,也将巩固其在动漫行业的领先地位。
