Good, so long as you see that. 

I do agree actually. They don’t have any Ips but are certainly a talented studio that pumps out games at a decent pace. And can do anything Sony tells them to do with a reasonable assumption of quality. I still think the amount was a bit high given they all ready have such a close partnership 

Although I think Sony have better strategy on console I don't think MS is dumb (yes they made several mistakes in hindsight but well who could really assure that wouldn't work? Console market is like 200M people, what certainty do we have about the 6B that don't buy consoles? The only certainty is that current tactics haven't made they buy consoles).

So the studios they bought they probably paid the right price, sure some were a little more than what should be (premium) and others they saved from closure (so probably cheaper). I do expect they have either some good new IPs mixed with some famous IPs improved with better financial health available to dev.

All in all I'm eager to see if MS will entice me to consider XSX (played X360 a lot start of gen with friends and liked the 4k BD idea for X1S and the power of X1X, but with lack of exclusives I couldn't justify buying it), if they can at least make me consider the console that would mean for whoever is already a Xbox fan then they will have a blast of a good time.

Curious and serious question, do you game on PC?
