Which Studio/Publisher can Sony buy to counter the Bethesda purchase?

Sony not about to buy anything.
If anything they just create mutal profitable situations for there 1st party and third party exclusive devs.
Sony meetings with publishers probably go like
"So if you make this a timed or system exclusive you have access to X amount of market share, we will spot you x amount of the difference that you could probably make on pc or Xbox and we'll market your game with ad spots and in trailers up until and after release"
Which is probably really similar to how Microsoft meetings go as well truthfully. Only with more upfront cash to just have the devs drop the game at all. Smh

Sony doesn't have that type of capital

If a 3rd party publisher gets acquired, then so be it. But rooting for it to happen? 
What part of the game is this?

Why? The only thing really popping is Arkane over there if you looking for premium gameplay and story. BGW have been mid no matter how well people love the the same game being brought out or the trash fallout with their names on it. Will be interesting if Microsoft puts Obsidian on Fallout again to get that real RPG feel.
They payed more for Bethesda than Disney did for Marvel and Star Wars combined I thinkSony doesn't have that type of capital

They have enough ips in their backlog
I think Sony knows they realistically can't afford the just go out buying studios. They can probably afford buying GAMES from studios to make them exclusive, but dropping billions isn't in their gameplan.
If anything, they would just invest in smaller second/third party studios, and creating new first party studios using talent that left other studios. Sony's thing has seemed to be more focused on more of a mix of established and new properties, so them establishing new studios with proven talent, or even just new teams within their pre-existing studios, isn't much of a risk to them.

They should’ve tried buying Konami immediately after that, or made some sort of cost cutting deal or something. Kojima has made sooo much money for both those companies for sooooo long that it really shows how fukking incompetent Konami is for butchering silent hills. Could’ve revamped a horror franchise like that in the era of vr and 3D audio (it could be as close as you could possibly get to feeling like you’re in the town, and imagine kojima using psycho mantis PlayStation antics with those features
) they honestly threw hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain like fukking idiots.

We create our own talent instead of buying in FA. Earned not bought.
Microsoft fans will feel like Durant in the end, unsatisfied with their victories because deep down they know they didn’t really earn it.

They've brought all these studios and still have no games
They're killer IP Halo looks trash
Why would Sony buy a studio?

If anything paying billions for a studio will either create laziness from developers that got paid and are unmotivated or resentment if only the top people got money so the talent will quit and join other companies
