On the one hand, Sony is doing the same with plenty of their own games - Spider-man, Horizon, God of War, etc. This is standard in the industry at this point. On the other hand, Sony isn't gobbling up every studio it can get its hands on, let alone one as big as Activision Blizzard.
It's an interesting situation MS has gotten themselves in.
They are gobbling up developers. Many are lowly and don't have many credits to their names. Sony may be a hardware company that doesn't fully understand software or services, but if they lost two generations in a row, you can bet your ass they'd drop billions of dollars to acquire Activision, or Take-Two or EA
Sony does not have anywhere enough capital to acquire large publishers
I hear what you're saying. And I don't have the financials quick at hand. But I guess what I really mean is that they'd be fighting tooth and nail, gouging eyes... Essentially that neither of them are above the dirty tricks campaign and it benefits no one in the long term.
