    trying to hurt them at the expense of the consumer

    Vastly more consumers benefit from this purchase than are hurt, so no, I don’t think it’s that. The only people it “hurts” are Sony fanboys.

      Haven’t bought a console outside of a Switch in 15 years. I fail to see how anyone can see the 22nd largest company in the world buying one of the largest games publishers in the world is not going to bring a benefit, and I don’t think Microsoft needs to worry about expanding its cashflow.
