While the MS acquisitions were indeed a shitshow, Sony didn't just  do "small-time purchases of long term second party partners", they also bought up some significant studios only to shut them down or lay off a lot of the staff. (Firewalk, Neon Koi, Bluepoint, Bungie, Firesprite)

Bungie was 3.6 billion and made one game franchise. Actiblizz was 70 billion and made multiple game franchises. Still an apples to oranges comparison, which MS defenders ignored. What did the other studios make or do? Honestly, I only recognize Bluepoint for the ports and remasters. 

Bungie for instance is still a sizeable purchase, not small time. 

Neon Koi was working on one of Sony's aborted AAA live service titles and was put to the torch, Firewalk made Concord, and Firesprite most recently worked on Horizon Call of the Mountain.

I'm not defending the MS acquisitions, they've been a disaster, but Sony shouldn't get a free pass either.
