Is MS going about acquiring games the wrong way?

I'm not sure this is the best deal MS could have made, but the method is the same as Sony's tactic, is it not? They have bought several studios as well as creating their own, just like what MS does.

Yes but Sony hasn't paid $2.5Billion for 47 employees with a one hit wonder.  This still feels like a joke.  If on Monday they actually announce this deal it's going to be the funniest things ever, and a good thing for Sony.  If they want to blow 2.5 billion on Minecraft instead of funding 20 or 30 AAA games then Sony should break out the Champagne.
