So it's acquisition season and the console war narratives are confusing. So Sony stans believe buying a little known studio is good and buying a more established studio is bad for gaming.
Now they say that because Microsoft has been making huge AAA acquisitions while Sony does that too, they been mainly buying little companies as of late.
But there's a MAJOR DIFFERENCE Sony stans in particular fail to recognize and this statement defeats their entire argument. So without further Ado, is this following statement correct?
Anything Sony buys is to be exclusive and thus making that devs games reach less people. And then they'll flop like returnal did and Sony will do them like they've done every MAJOR dev they've had under them. ZIPPER interactive says But Xbox puts all their games on Xbox and PC so any acquisition will still reach the masses. So there's no reason to get upset over Xbox acquisitions, only Sony ones because those purchases hurt the industry as a whole. Again, returnal sold 500k (name the Xbox exclusive that did worse)
If I'm incorrect, please speak on it intelligently so we can reach a smart conclusion
