Yes, it is a bit silly to link the two. Microsoft wants to beat Sony. No kidding. Unless it is a detailed plan of how to push Sony out of the market by acquiring game studios I don't think it has much relevance. Of course the strategy is to gain market share and of course the main reason of acquiring game studios is to gain more market share.
