I would not say it is the right decision as much as it is the lesser of two evils. Remember at some point next year these decisions are probably going to bare some bitter fruit. Microsoft is probably going to get its hands on some well known franchises or titles one would rather not lose.

What really chafes is we have exactly no clue what Microsoft is going for or even what is that far off on the horizon, but if Sony isn't going to seriously contend for them. Well Microsoft is also probably going to get themselves some good bargains. That is the weak spot in this strategy. Though necessary Sony will be conceding some prime real estate to Microsoft.

That means that theoretically Microsoft should see an upswing in major third party exclusives. Will be interesting to see how some in the community respond. Anyone have any major third party franchises in mind. For me it is late and my mind is drawing a blank about what is exactly left this generation.
