Microsoft are so dumb. They are getting the short end of the stick on this deal. The positives are all in SE's favor.

Why does microsoft always spend way too much on crap? Skype, nokia, this...

They arent in it like the other two, they create ms buys.  Its been like that since day one.  

MS currently has virtually the same (in fact, right now I think it is exactly the same (17)) first party studios as Sony. I can't be fucked running the numbers, but they probably have just as many second party publishing deals as well.

But, cool story.

Yeah, and no doubt they all have the same pedigree as well.

 

Not meant to slight you anything, don't get me wrong. I just don't view those (17) the same as Sony's (17) overall. 

Many might disagree and that is fine, but history overall for all of these studios are not equal.
