Buying Kadokawa would solidify Sony's anime/manga position and ensure Playstation's future even if Microsoft acquires one more major publisher and goes back to exclusivity.
Kadokawa and SquareEnix were the two most plausible major acquisitions from Sony. And after FromSoftware got full ownership of Elden Ring, it became a no brainer that acquiring Kadokawa is the higher priority to Sony which already owns like 12% of them. I think what they're aiming for is majority stake and not full acquisition.
