Sony may be hypocritical and arguing dishonestly but that doesn't really make their accusations at Microsoft invalid. The ideal solution would be if regulating agencies both block Microsoft's acquisition and also demand that Sony quits with exclusivity agreements.
I see a lot of gamers going like "well if Sony is being manipulative, it's only fair that Microsoft does too" and that's pretty short-sighted. This situation will have big long-term consequences. Rather than picking sides, we ought to think of our side as customers.
