Are you literary comparing buying a studio to whoring out IPs for exclusivity?

I am sure you know the difference between the two.

Yes sure, and on the rumors of Sony acquiring one studio or another there were the same type of response that it would trigger MS to buy a lot of studios.

Id agree that same can be said with MS buying studios aswell. 

However buying Studios to give a second wind because they are struggling or small to buying already established and successful studios making fortunes are also very different appoaches.

Honestly look who MS brought,

Ninja Threoy (Struggling)

Obsidian (Struggling)

Double Fine (Small Indie and Struggling)

Playground Games (Were unoffical 1st party)

Undead Labs (Were unofficial 1st party)

Compulsion (Small Indie)

Mojang (Small Indie)

InXile (Small Indie)

Etc.
