Not that it’s a fair comparison because both companies are much more than their gaming divisions, but… Sony’s market cap is around $114 billion. Microsoft’s is $2.49 trillion.

If MS really decided they wanted full control of the console gaming space, they absolutely have the means to spend Sony into oblivion.

All that said, you’d like to think that government regulators would step in and stop the acquisition train in its tracks if they did try to buy everything up like that.
