Vastly more consumers benefit from this purchase than are hurt, so no, I don't think it's that. The only people it "hurts" are Sony fanboys.
Also nothing that person said indicates that they are "hurt" in any way. Maybe take a look in the mirror to see who is hurt by this deal.
Haven't bought a console outside of a Switch in 15 years. I fail to see how anyone can see the 22nd largest company in the world buying one of the largest games publishers in the world is not going to bring a benefit, and I don't think Microsoft needs to worry about expanding its cashflow.
