This is one reason why I still appreciate Nintendo. They don't "buy" studios to make most of their AAA games. They produce them in house.

That's a weird way to look at this, MS and Sony are not exclusively game companies, so why would they just have dozens of in-house game studios from the start? They have to get those studios from somewhere and I don't see what's wrong about buying them, especially if you have great relations with the studios anyhow.

Also it's not like Nintendo has never made any acquisitions of studios, what about Rare for example?
