@Neutral, I think these companies are playing the “long game”. As far as business, which is the main reason why these companies exist, they will do what is best for their investors. I would prefer most games being 3rd party, not even a fan of 3rd party timed exclusives, but that’s just business. I would prefer that these companies geow internally and aqcuire personnel to build up or create new studios. I was suprised at all these early acquisitions, but after looking subjectively, I am now surprised anymore…remember long game.

@Alphelion, true, but to be fair Sony doesn’t have the equity to buy publishers and large 3rd party developers. Sony is a gaming juggernaut and a multi billion company, while Microsoft gaming isnt a global leader like Sony, but their company as a whole is a jiggeenaught, as a nulti trillion dollar company. Sony can’t get into a spending spree with MS. They don’t have to either. They can continue to make smaller, targeted deals. Sony has a proven recipe for this. Microsoft can make large deals, but that doesn’t need to gaurantee success. I think Sony will make key deals, ehile Microsoft will grab another publisher and make smaller target putchases with conoanies that are presently making games for them.

In the end, these conpanies have to let these devsrun themselves to flourish creativity, this is more what MS needs to do as Sony already does this.
