PlayStation boss says "we should expect more" acquisitions in the future
gamesradar.comPlayStation boss Jim Ryan has said fans "should expect more" following the announcement of its Bungie acquisition yesterday.

Dring also says that the PlayStation Bungie deal has been in the works for the past five to six months, and therefore is not a reaction to the Take-Two/Zynga or Microsoft/Activision deals that have also been seen recently.

Dring also points out that "equally, Sony unlocks the potential for Bungie to strengthen its technical capabilities and the prospect of taking its games to movies/TV."
