Still, crazy huge news again from MS. Clearly the strategy for them going forward is to just cut the third part support from under Playstation by buying them all. Sony is going to have to respond with a major acquisition themselves at some point.

I don't think Sony has the means to shell out $70 billion acquisitions like Microsoft can. I'm kind of surprised that Microsoft is getting so aggressive after being pretty stagnant last generation. They are putting themselves in a position to dominate future generations. Sony has some great 1st party exclusives but not enough and you can only milk the same franchises for so long before they run their course.
