I guess that people seem to forget that almost all of Sony's big studios were bought Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, Sucker Punch and Media Molecule.

True...Sony bought a lot of companies and invested in them creating their own development style. Notice how sonys developers make games in different genres but follow a similar art style? Also naughty dog never made the games they made with sony before they were with sony. Sony changed their direction and restructured naughty dog. Now they've split naughty dog into two teams.

"similar art style"? What does that even mean?

Killzone games do not follow the same art style as Uncharted.

LittleBigPlanet games do not have the same art style as Infamous.

God of War and Last of Us have very different art styles.

Most of Sony's "artsy" games aren't even made by Sony but are just funded by Sony. Which is fine.

Just put it bluntly and honestly. Sony bought a lot of their studios after they proved themselves to be talented. Nothing wrong with that. They also bought some that didn't pan out, just like MS.
