Their IPs are their own. They arent just buying up IP's like Microsoft.

Like I said, MS will invest money for studios creating IPs even if they don't own it. Sony on the other hand tends not to get involved with studios unless they own the IP and may eventually buy the studio.

Either way, BOTH COMPANIES have thrown money around to buy IPs and studios. Sony would probably buy more IPs if they actually had money. Instead Sony has been buys trying to save money.

Ultimately, Gears of War is a great purchase for MS. If Sony bought Gears... lets just say Sony fans would have been very happy.

The situation is far from equal dude. You're playing damage control. Theres no shame in it MS kind of needed this to keep their brand stable. I'm perfectly fine with it.

Seriously WTF?!

MS buys one of the biggest IPs of last gen and crushes Sonys last hope to get it on their console... And you say the Xbox supporter is playing damage control, because you come up with some weird logic that does not even make sense.

Arguing with you, FlamingWeazel or ethomaz can be sooooo exhausting, because it will never end anyway.

Dude...You obviously haven't been reading most of my posts. MS should've bought Gears long ago and I was saying the same thing for Mass Effect (before EA bought Bioware), because their first party just wasn't cutting it. Its kind of how MS survives. They buy up the real estate. Their best games were from IP's or studios they bought while mid-creation of those games. Titanfall being exclusive? Same crap. They scout these games like a hawk. If I wasn't good at developing i'd do the next best thing too, plus they've got the money. This is the main reason I am buying an Xbox One. MS knows how to get around it and make their console have games in the beginning when they need the buzz most. They work off of perception.
