Can we offer some prominent advertising on our systems store, help pay some development cost, and foot part of the TV advertising bills for 6 months exclusivity.” That is how Microsoft would go on E3 and show games on stage that also came to PlayStation 6 months later but at the time Microsoft called it exclusive. What DOES happen is “Hey, that game you’re working on looks great. If you believe Sony said hey, how much is it going to cost us to keep Billy goats playhouse off Xbox and the company that pays BILLIONS for purchases couldn’t outbid you really should recalibrate your logic.

Buying Activision is a completely different one. Like if they bought treyarch, that would be one thing. If Microsoft bought a developer like you say they did with Bethesda, it would be fine. When Sony bought insomniac who was insomniacs parent company? What Xbox games stopped coming out thanks to that purchase? What series on Xbox got scrapped? Insomniac was an independent developer.

This is purchasing the PARENT company to permanently keep titles off other systems. You do realize that timed exclusives started on NES vs Sega Master system huh? You do realize EVERY company did timed content starting in the 360 Era right? Kojima is working in a game for just Xbox as we speak the same way he did Death stranding for PlayStation. You are really comparing timed exclusives to BUYING THE PARENT COMPANY.
