FUN NOTE: Sony had been negotiating timed exclusivity on Starfield as recently as a few months ago. Going to guess either those talks are done or the price suddenly went way, way up.

Even more reason Microsoft had to acquire Bethesda, I hope Microsoft at the very least slap a time exclusive on all future Zenimax games.  

So MS went even further so that is good for the market because? My god, the double standard and hypocrisy that you talk about is so high, that it's getting radioactive :))))

Sony is a single platform vs Microsoft multiplatform which includes consoles, PC and Smart-phone (Xcloud). If the titles were to go exclusives, there would be plenty of ways a Sony consoles owners get to play the game for cheap without having to really commit to the Xbox ecosystem. 

Sony is currently the market leader and this is a nice re-adjustment to the console landscape. If Microsoft were to drop another 10 Billion on acquisitions then we would have a new serious problem for the industry. Corporations' only goal is to make as much profit for their shareholders, so we really need to keep a balance in order to have a healthy industry.
