It's trolling because you don't like the facts.
PlayStation out the gate was buying publishers and devs with their SONY revenue, ON top of that they were and still are locking up games with exclusive "timed" deals that can go on for as seemingly last as long they feel like it's useful.
It's like you trying to compare two crack heads.
"Oh I only buys small amounts of dope, that other crackhead he be really buying 8 balls tho"
They both still doing the same thing just according to what they can afford.
And before 2017 how many much did Microsoft buy in relation to Sony?
As compared to
So sony had double as many purchased companies as Xbox in 2017, Xbox doubled up on them quick and now yall like
"Consolidation is bad"

At least sony buys these studios and they make some fukking games
Ya'll have to hope and pray starfield actually isn't vaporware at this point.

It took almost 9 years for sucker punch to give us Ghost of tsushima and Insomniac had already dropped spiderman before the Sony purchase and they haven't given us anything but spiderman games and a ratchet game since. By the time we get something that's not spiderman or ratchet from them it's going to be 5 or 6 years after the purchase.

Folks still don't get it. Majority of those studios Sony acquired were already making Sony exclusive games (Similar to 343i).
The recent purchases on M$'s side are mostly companies who have released multi-platform games within the last few years.
If you cannot recognize that, I don't know what to tell you.

But like you said they might have been making Sony exclusive games mostly. But they had the options to not do that, aka insomniac and them dropping sunset over drive.
So if you don't like it one way you shouldn't like it any which way.
Let's just not pretend that Microsoft is doing something abnormal by locking up companies and acquiring them, big or small. Regardless of if the company mostly made games for a particular system or not locking them down is locking them down.

Plumbee makes facebook casino slots.
Audiokinetic isn't a game developer.

Firesprite never released a game.
Fabrik made a PSVR game and a PS indie title before that.
Valkyrie only released 1 title, a f2p PS4 game.
Aniplex owns Lasengle.
Haven never released a single game.

A lot of former 3rd party developers/publisher with a ton of legacy multiplat IPs.
