Looks over at Bungie
Yeah…
Not any better when Sony does it either, but let's not kid ourselves. Microsoft has spent so much more on acquisitions over the years compared to Sony.
Sony is worth a fraction of what Microsoft is worth. Microsoft could buy Sony multiple times over if allowed. Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo back in the day.
Because Microsoft has far more money available to spend on acquisitions. If Sony had the same spending capital that Microsoft has, they would be buying up the sector just the same. But since they can't afford it, they do the next worst thing by just buying game exclusivity, paying developers to keep games from being ported to platforms other than PlayStation.
