Bethesda being Bethesda.
Just like they were going to buy Rockstar, EA, Konami, Kojima, Capcom etc. before... I highly doubt it's true.
But even if it were true, it has zero impact really, those games were pretty much already PS exclusives anyway.
Playstation is a western company under Jim Ryan.
Let's hope that isn't true, because if it is, Sony will shutter them imminently. Sony is done with Japan & Japanese style games.
Your point is moot. It exceeded 6 years of PS4 sales in Japan in just 2 years, prior to the $199 Switch Lite being released.
It has nothing to do with COVID or shortages. Pre-covid, the Switch also passed the PS4 in Japan by 2019 (~2 years on sale) meanwhile the PS4 had been on sales for ~5-6 years at that point.

I really doubt it would. Squares big games are only available on PS currently, and it is still being destroyed by the Switch. They need to do a lot more than buy Square to regain market share from Nintendo.
I get why they are doing these comparisons, but with each one the game just screams $10 upgrade rather than $70 upgrade more and more.
@Aloymetal That's a pretty disingenuous comparison.
PS+ includes people who are just paying for the basic tier / online play. GP does not. If you want a more accurate comparison you would need to compare XBL+GP vs PS+. Unless you can obtain per-tier numbers for PS+.
"I mean it's not like the first thing they did when they bought Bethesda was remove all Bethesda's games from PSNow and put them on Game Pass"
Which games did they remove? They're all still in PS+ from what I've seen. Perhaps you don't subscribe / play on PS.
DS was one of the best games of last gen. Great addition
