If Sony buys Square Enix, will there be hope for another LoD?

You also need to include the size of an acquisition, if you say party has made more acquisitions, so it's still party B it's turn. Otherwise you would make the argument that Bluepoint acquisition is as significant as say the acquisition of Bethesda.

The size will only matter when new and Xbox/PC exclusive, games release and are large hits. In fact, until COD is exclusive, the Activision acquisition will remain largely inconsequential. But, all of  that really has nothing to do with what my overall point.

The point was despite who has more money, companies with less are out there making moves. One of them will never “have it all”.

If Sony continues to get smaller studios with no IP like Deviation next or something and MS goes and gets Square and Capcom and SEGA and keeps all those IP off PS it will shrink to the point of irrelevance.  Maybe like Gamecube levels if they're lucky
