It's a fairly obvious assumption. Just look at all the Microsoft adds compared to Sony. Remember the new IGN feater A brought to you by Xbox One, and the new feature B brought to you by Microsoft. These campaigns aren't done for free.
Sony still advertises, and if they lose the Sony audience they lose out on hits (another for of advertising dollars) and Microsoft's advertising dollars. You need both audiences to be the dominant news source. Microsoft sees value in converting.
