M$ doesn't need to build or buy new studios, they need to sign deals to fund innovative titles from third parties and independents. Sony didn't "build" their greatest studios. They developed a very strong working relationship with them over the course of several years, and the studios delivered brilliantly. M$'s only example of that would be Bungie(now gone) and Remedy, which, if they're smart, they won't cut ties with due to one failure.
