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

Wow. Might mean more if they still had Halo, though.

Will be interesting to see if this acquisition causes another Internet meltdown, when Sony's the one doing the buying. I somehow doubt it.

Honestly, I don't think one can compare MS buying Activision to Sony buying Bungie. To my knowledge Bungie just has Destiny, I'm sure I'm wrong, but that's all that comes to my mind. Also, ~$4 billion sounds like a lot for Bungie.
An interesting part of the deal is that Bungie is still considered an independent studio and would not be part of PlayStation Studios, this acquisition is largely geared towards supplemental media (TV, Movies, books, comics, etc).

An odd buy, I don't have any real strong opinions about Bungie these days, I never really got into Destiny and this doesn't seem to be a deal that does much for Sony in terms of gaming, so I guess...okay?

unless you really love a game to be on a certain console. A company being bought up could mean a bigger budget and improved overall quality.
