According to a report aired on the Japanese national TV channel NHK, Sony has completed acquisition plans for a semiconductors plant in Tsuruoka, Yamagata prefecture. The factory is, as of now, owned by Renesas Electronics and produces the Wii U’s eDRAM chip.

Sony is said to be making a purchase for seven billion yen – or roughly 68 million dollars – with further plans to invest an additional 20 million in new production facilities. The plant will be used to increase Sony’s production of smartphone CMOS sensors.

Implications on Wii U production are expected to be minimal. The consensus is that Nintendo has plenty of chips already available, and the factory producing the Wii U’s eDRAM would have shuttered in any case without Sony’s acquisition.
