Then that would be decidedly less competitive between the two consoles.

Yeah the poor trillion dollar company couldn't possibly compete with the billion dollar company by organically building an attractive portfolio. It's not like they did it before and only lost their position due to their own mishandling of studios and misunderstanding of the market.

They seemingly can't compete, so this is how they're making up for the ground that they lost, because right now the console market is not particularly competitive.
