Seems like a waste of money to buy the competition if you can't afford exclusivity tbh

They intentionally spent the money so everyone on the internet would say nice

Microsoft: 69 billion dollars!

Microsoft doesn't care about exclusivity outside of preventing Sony from using it against them. Microsoft would rather sell what they own on every platform and make the most money than go to Sony route and watch as games like final fantasy 16 underperform expectations cuz they're locked to one console.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
