So where are we at?

Despite the handfuls of acquisitions, this gen feels pretty normal to me.
Minor missteps that most people don't care about.

Irritatingly a lot of people are hung up on the Zenimax acquisition. Not the acquisition itself though, but fanboys are convinced that Microsoft is in the midst of buying up the whole industry, and that the acquisition like Sony buying Firesprite was defensive to prevent MS from buying them.

Microsoft has a really strong holiday season coming up, and Sony basically has nothing. But the next year looks to be a strong one for Sony. I don't think we'll be seeing Zenimax really changing things until late 2022, or later really.
