Sony can make their own games. They've never needed to moneyhat a shit ton of games. Microsoft isn't in their league when it comes to first party development. Microsofts whole angle is that they need to cover up their weakness which is first party. They do this by amping up third party and it acts as a supplement to their weak third party. Microsoft always does this, but if there was any franchise Microsoft should've bought long ago its Gears.
Fear not. If there was anything to be learned form the 360 era it was that Microsoft buys games to the point where third parties realize multiplats are more important than Microsofts money. The profitability is higher that way. Sony will have their exclusives in due time but they want to make sure they are great. Just imagine how many new IP's Sony will come out with opposed to Microsoft this gen. Microsoft paid god knows how much just to have the status quo. Sony doesn't have to because they create their games. Think about that. Sony has more room to out develop Microsoft even further this gen.
