In terms of first party development, Sony is still in a more dominant position than Microsoft despite the Zenimax acquisition, if we consider the amount of high profile IP's, multimedia adaptation & extensive library dating back to the original Playstation. Microsoft's only development advantage at the moment is sheer volume of games. If SIE acquires as aggressively as Sony Pictures or Sony Music, Playstation could very well catapult their inhouse production into 25 - 30+ studios, taking away Microsoft's volume advantage before it can even manifest on the market. And that's not taking into account how Sony is organically growing most of their teams, where Playstation still has a major advantage over on Xbox, if we compare home grown studios over the generations.
Also expecting these PS IP's to drop in sales/popularity just because it isn't the PS4 generation is wishful thinking tbh. Gran Turismo, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon & TLOU have been massive sellers from their first title, while staples like God of War & Uncharted have grown into juggernaut franchises over time, while Sony's partnership with Disney gives them exclusive access to some of the biggest IP's today. Good to see the bundle excuse is ready to go though lol.
