Sony only buys certain studios fine, but they are annoyingly active in trying to block other platforms from content. FF7R exclusivity for a year, FF16 exclusivity for a year, blocking Spider-Man in other versions of Avengers (how fucking petty is this)?, now there's talk of a MGS1 Remake that they've money hatted.

So sorry I don't feel bad if someone finally walloped Sony upside the head. Sony's been block content from other platforms for decades, it's hard to feel sympathy for them when they pushed someone too big and now got pushed back onto their ass.

A large part of that is the simple fact that Final Fantasy sells poorly on Xbox, as does pretty much every other Japanese franchise. Setting aside Xbox's bad performance in Japan, even in the US the series sells far better on PlayStation. So that's just as much on the Xbox userbase as it is on Sony.
