There's no precedence for this. This is ~6x bigger than the next biggest acquisition ever in gaming history, and almost 7x bigger than all other Microsoft gaming acquisitions combined. It's also far and away bigger than any acquisition Microsoft has ever made.

I'm sure I'm going to end up being wrong on this, but I don't expect we'll see another acquisition like this for a good long while...

I think it's clear, Sony will have to buy EA.
