Thats why you're not ceo. The contract was already signed, you literally gain nothing by keeping the terms and might be on the hook for money if you break it.
No they don't need to. And it's time they stop reacting to what the loser brand in gaming is doing.
They are about to release Spiderman 2, it is Xbox who needs to react.

Sony's response: "Our vertical stands have sold more than Series X/S console."
Redfall absolutely bombed, Starfield came out to a whimper, followed forza which no one seemed to care about looking at steam numbers and where it landed on xbox most played.
Sony is about to drop an atomic bomb with spider-man 2, and without even revealing anything else they have FF7 Rebirth coming out after that. There’s really no rush for them to react to anything.

To be fair Pokemon is made by Gamefreak not Nintendo, Nintendo just published it though they own 1/3rd of the pokemon company.
Gamefreak is Mojang levels of incompetent and lazy
I don't see them showing any major games until the Video Game Awards.
If they want to make a counter punch, then they need to acquire some studios.

They’d be better off just waiting for the house of cards microsoft is building with 22k employees to tumble.

I don't think Sony has to do anything, to be honest. Let's look at it objectively.
Xbox just has a VERY short marketing buzz after the acquisition closed that will wither away very soon; I feel like it already has somewhat. Besides, the ABK acquisition hasn't hurt Sony at all, considering COD isn't going anywhere. Sony will even the marketing rights for the next COD.
Spider-Man 2 is launching in ~4 days. It'll review extremely well, sell a ton of PS5s, and put PlayStation front and center.
Then comes the Game Awards, where Death Stranding 2 will appear. Stellar Blade and Rise of the Roning may also get release dates around that time.
So PlayStation, coming off the back of a successful launch of Spider-Man 2, will have more games to show and more games lined up:
Sony has an open field for the next few months.
I think Sony will use that time to cook some more and blow out their load in Q2 or Q3 2024 with a big Showcase, showing games on a PS5 Pro to fully decimate Xbox.

This.
People are underestimating how big of a factor this is going to be in all this.
- Microsoft could not manage 5 studios.
- They acquired 13 more studios and ran into issues with Hellblade 2, State of Decay 3, Everwild, Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport, etc.
- Then they acquired Bethesda and ran into issues with Redfall and Starfield.
- Now they have acquired Activision-Blizzard-King. They will only run into even more issues now.
