Microsoft is buying a bunch of studios to compensate for having fewer exclusive developers and for only churning out the same franchises yearly. Nintendo and Sony already have that, so they don't need to "fight back". Also, I think buying out platform-independent devs/publishers is bad, so I wouldn't want the other big platform holders to start doing that too.

I agrre that Nintendo dont need to buy any other devs.  Their 1st party output is so good that they are able to get away with simply having their own IPs on their device. 

Sony is a little more vulnerable as the ultra biggest games on their console are 3rd person (Fortnite,  COD etc). But I would argue that they have reached a point where significant numbers of gamers are buying their consoles just to play 1st party games. However they obviously do feel vulnerable as they have been on a purchasing spree and are rumoured to be in discussions with SE.
