About $5 billion USD left to spend on acquisitions until 2024.
Can you give us an update on the ¥2 trillion in the investment budget?

Hiroki Totoki: Yes. We spent almost ¥1.3 trillion by the end of last year. We have one more year.
Watch Sony Group's Morgan Stanley conference from 30:45 to hear it directly.
In 2021:
Sony Group said on Wednesday it will spend 2 trillion yen ($18.39 billion) over the next three years on strategic investments, including a push to expand subscribers to its gaming and entertainment services.
In 2022:
Sony has now revealed it has spent 850 billion yen (roughly $7.4 billion) of its allocated budget, leaving about $10 billion left for further purchases. Sony's current bill includes the substantial $3.6 billion buyout of Bungie, as well as billions in share buybacks.
Now in 2023, Sony has ¥700 trillion remaining for investments. This translates to around $5 billion USD.
Sony's investments since the $18.4 billion announcement include the following.
 
And people think they are buying Take Two when this ActiBliz deal is finished for Xbox. lol. They are like 25-30 billion short.

If they really wanted to, they can always take on more long term debt to make certain acquisitions work but probably not. Even with Capcom, that's a reach. We will have to see what they are planning to do.

Not only are they short, the entire company value is only 100 billion. The rumor of Sony buying Take Two for $30 billion, nearly one third of the value of Sony, is clearly spread by a Sony Pony.

When MS announced they were acquiring Activision for 67 billion, the value of of MS was at $2 trillion.

I'd expect a few smaller studios.

PS5 Exec: "We Cancel So Many Games"​

Funny how they say that but their line up of games is very specific and static.

Outside of the odd game their games are all third person, action/adventure games. Uncharted, Horizon, God of War, Saclk Boy, Stray, Last Guardian, Ghosts of Tushima, Spider-Man, Shadow of the Collosus, Last of Us, Demon's Soul, etc.

It is actually surprising how little variety there is the first party line up.

That's where they excel at. The rest of the library can be filled from Indies, third party partners and timed exclusives.
