Why Do People View the MS Acquisition of ABK as a "Good Thing?"

It's good because

1) Nintendo systems will see these games

2) Sony has been too complacent, and this gen from them has been boring so far. They need to become like Nintendo and focus on their 1st party games. The rest is gravy on top.

They don't have any trouble with that. 

Regarding complacency, I disagree. They just released a new VR device, a pro controller, a gaming monitor, and plenty of games up to this point. If that stuff is of no interest to you, I get it, but they've not just sat around doing nothing. They and Nintendo have knocked it out of the park with what they've got and their commercial reception is a testament to that. 

Also, Microsoft acquiring Acti isn't going to move the needle. COD is remaining multiplatform (the only place this could have had a seriously negative impact on them). The purchase is not about exclusive games because there is a far bigger target and mindset at play.
