If TT ends up tied to MS, some type of merger/partnership or owned by, SNY might as well pack up and head back to Japan, while designing PS6 to be a hybrid. It would only get worse from there.

The sooner SNY makes a move, the more likely they'll be successful, or at least push TT to sell to someone else other than MS, which would be better than letting MS have them.

Also, how many of the devs themselves will stay put vs how many will go elsewhere or start a new studio? Will all these franchises remain the same, get better, or get filled with MTX under MS?

Typically when you've got some mega corp, you've already got issue's. When you've got one who's clearly determined to become a monopoly, you've likely got major issues. How many and what kind of devs would really enjoy what's likely to become of that?

I wonder how long before MS buys Bungie?..

Money can't buy everything, and it can sure ruin some great things.

Nintendo managed when Sony took away Squaresoft, Enix, and most of Capcom and Konami's support. I guess this is kind of a funny irony. 

When is the last time you heard Nin Power? It's not the same Nin. The company that basically saved the gaming industry btw.

Gamers are now happy the same thing that happened to Nin may happen to SNY?

MS ain't SNY. Be careful what you wish for.
