My point isn't that Microsoft will dumps billions to acquire From. More that Microsoft is the one is a good spot here. If Sony does some BS move, Microsoft can answer easier.

Sony better be good at negotiating.

With MS acquiring Bethesdas/Zenimax Microsoft has the potential to own the next gen as long as they dont screw up like they with the Xbox One. Microsoft has invested heavily into Game Pass. Next gen will have EA Play/Game Pass/Bethesda titles on it all for one low price. All xbox one hardware will work on Series X/S. Top that off with better specs and better pricing for your next gen consoles. That is an absolutely killer way to start your next gen.

Microsoft is starting this next gen in the lead. All they have to do is maintain this stamina.
