Yupp... Sony buys a 1.4% stake in Epic the world goes crazy. MS buys 11 studios, but it is fair play That's how things work, it would seem.

Don't forget MS buys 11 studio fair play, rumour of Sony buying one studio is the doom for console gaming and MS will counter buying another 15 studios to keep things even.

It’s not the same, MS buys studios to combat Sony’s gaming monopoly. Sony buying studios is meant to maintain their monopoly. Not that I’m against monopolies (looking at MSs OS in case you retort with that) but I do believe we all win if there’s enough marketshare to go around like 360/PS3. Xbox getting scraps like this gen will just make another Nintendo which is forced to make underpowered yet unique hardware to stay in the game. I prefer Xbox to remain a “traditional” competitor in the gaming space.
