Frankly I am now very dour on the future of the gaming industry. Before too long a handful of companies will effectively control everything, and I don't think Sony and Nintendo will keep existing long term as their own entities.
The future is looking like Microsoft and maybe Amazon, Google, or Apple (eventually, etc) will just own the majority of popular mainstream gaming content.
I don't understand how anybody can be excited about these sorts of acquisitions. It's no different than Disney just buying everything up and ruling Hollywood.
I hope stronger anti-trust laws manifest at some point and stop this, because it's not good for anyone.
As for PlayStation, what exactly are people expecting? They can't go around and just buy success.
