wasting money on capcom wouldn't hurt MS in the slightest. Internet users need to get out of the mindset that these japanese publishers hold a candle to any of the western ones sales or engagement wise. in terms of acquisition Activision is the check mate, anything else is child's play, especially a japanese pub. they either acquire EA/Take Two/or Epic or they can say goodbye to any worthwhile 3rd party exclusives.
Even though what you say is true in some regards, you have to think about it a little deeper
No one buys games on xbox anyway (xbox is the forever last place thrash meme brand that no one in the real world actually likes or cares about - everything about xbox is fake, its all just FUD, xbox doesnt have a real fanbase) so in essence yes that is the case
BUT if Sony were to take every Japanese publisher away from xbox it could deal a huge blow to xbox optics wise
Who are the people even buying an xbox? It's ill informed idiots. They listen to the hardcores. And if they hear you can never play the big Japanese IPs on xbox again, like Resident Evil (which btw started on Playstation) that could deal a huge optics blow and effect the last remaining people who are still willing to "buy into" xbox's lies
But yes, Activision is the biggest publisher in gaming. It's as unfair and anticompetitive as you can get. The fact this deal wasn't out right blocked by everyone a year ago shows how satanic and corrupt this world is. A deal like this should never ever even be entertained to go through. It's pure insanity. You can't really counter something like it tic for tac. Antitrust law means nothing anymore if microsoft can get away with this out right cold blooded premeditated murder on competition. But if antitrust law doesn't matter anymore, than Sony absolutely needs to go after T2 or Epic or both. That is very true
My logic behind Sony forclosing on microsoft from the Japanese side would be to deal a huge optics blow to xbox, from the hardcores, and try to eliminate the last few remaining who still may be interested in an xbox
Sony needs to stop fucking around, realise what's happening, wake the fuck up and start trying to fight off this evil corporate serpent microsoft. Sony needs to cut off the serpents head right now by all means necessary, deaths by a thousand cuts if they have to.
I.e It's not an either or. I say do both. Aquire all Japanese publishers PLUS A T2 OR EPIC
go argue into the wind.
