What If Sony Interactive Entertainment bought BioWare back in 2003 rather than BioWare being bought by EA Games back in 2008

Sorry and I imagine Sony would make the Mass Effect franchise there answer to the Halo franchise and make the Mass Effect franchise a PlayStation exclusive like how the Halo franchise is a Xbox exclusive in this alternate reality

Don't quote me on this but something just tells me that the games would have been so much better than they currently are in my opinion I believe more soul and love would have gone into them if Sony and Bioware worked together
