3 gens in VGC and you still think MS will put a lot of money of other areas into Xbox? Ok.
Yes Sony have a legacy of milking same IPs right? If they so much wanted they could keep Insomniac feed with unnused IPs for like another 3 gens.
I forgot you know the details of the contract and if it will be a good deal to Sony. Sony had to invest almost all money needed to make the game and the studio would receive a cut from the sales. Sony basically paid to whatever they invest be theirs (much better to invest in yourself than on others) and all profit be theirs as well, considering RC and SM that seems a logical move, Insomniac have been quite stable on launches and quality so a very safe and sound investment.
Being worth a lot isn't the same as having a lot of money on their pockets or assuming risks for new products. They got funding from publishers and didn't turn good. You see to be talking a lot of things you don't know about.
Please show us how much MS made of the plenty of Rare IPs for you to consider the studio having a lot of IPs the important aspect. Naughty Dog and other studios from Sony dropped a lot of successful IPs and haven't developed them anymore.
My sensitivity is towards your lack of knowledge to judge it being too much, but seems like mohjang was the purchase of the century.
Not all studios are available to everyone to buy, still waiting for MS to use all that infinite money to buy EA, Acti, Ubi, Taketwon, etc.

"You still think MS will put a lot of money of other areas into Xbox." What does that even mean?
I was suggesting they evidently bought Insomniac to make Spiderman and maybe Ratchet and Clank. Maybe even a Resistance reboot. But they might have other stuff too.
The rest of your thoughts are rambling. MS could have certainly bought Insomniac for less than EA, Acti, Ubi, etc.

I saw you trying to make a joke on Sony making more money than MS, while it is Playstation versus Xbox. So if Xbox can buy 10 studios then Playstation can buy 20. Simple as that.
You are suggesting wrong, Sony have been trying to buy then since long ago. They trust the dev and Sony allows freedom for developers and likes new IPs. So nope you are assuming very wrong.
Doesn't MS have much more money than Sony? So why haven't they bought these giant companies?

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.
