What studio acquisitions do you predict we could see this year and why?

What is most disheartening is to see what were once Sony's forward-facing mascots and brands have the chance to become fully exclusive to a competitor's platform.
As far as the potential for something like Call of Duty to become exclusive to Microsoft, this does present the opportunity for Sony to either create a new IP or to lean back on previous franchise successes such as Killzone and Resistance to take over the PlayStation market for the genre.

I'd rather have seen Microsoft invest that money in new blood. Make some interesting NEW exclusive content, rather than procuring all the existing stuff out there. But that's risk, and this is the video games industry we're talking about.

From a purely game point of view, this won't change much for me, since I'm a PC gamer also, but this a pretty insane get for Microsoft with all the games they just acquired. Something I'd like to see is maybe a slight restructure of their Call of Duty games, less of a yearly pump, take companies out of the Call of Duty mines, and put them back into other games like Tony Hawk and Crash Bandicoot.
Something cool I saw from someone, is that they could get Toys For Bob to make Banjo-Kazooie stuff alongside Crash Bandicoot, which would be amazing to get remakes of the first two games and the chance of a new one lol

Spyro 4 should be priority number one.
