I don't get the argument that an acquisition only makes sense if it takes away games from a competitor, an acquisition gives the studio more time and resources to make better games, allows your other studios to collaborate with the new studios, gives you all the money from their games, and lets you potentially expand that studio to make more games for you. If this is true it would be a smart get for Sony given their ownership of EVO and anime. And for those of you who think it's pointless because Xbox doesn't get their games already, I mean Bioware, Remedy, Moon, and Respawn all started off as Xbox only studios that now are multiplatform devs, so buying them could keep them as a Playstation brand. I will always be in favor of acquisitions over timed exclusives which don't do anything to benefit the games, only helping the platform holder
