The rest of the industry is. If sony doesn't get their act together and start expanding their first party studios they are going to be doomed.

Because panic buys are stupid. Their successful acquisitions have been made with a strategic plan set in place and that plan working out. They work with the devs, and if that relationship works then they buy them.i think the acquisition of bethesda does put sony's business at risk though. that is soo many franchises and studios that now don't put games on PlayStation. sony's output right now is great but not great enough to be a "nintendo" where people are going to buy the system even if 0 third party games are on the system. and with MS openly saying they intend to buy more studios i seriously think sony needs to prepare for a future where 1st party games are the only thing they can count on.
Sony is making a lot of money from their platform and games. In fact they are making the most money out of anyone in the industry. They arent panic buying because they don't need too. They just bought insomniac. Seems like housemarque and bluepoint are next, if they have successes on their hand. And this strategy works. Its worked in the past.
MS's strategy of buying developers left and right has yet to prove successful. In fact their output is in a dire dire state right now. Buying a lot of these studios that were struggling financially hasn't proven to be a success yet. Outside of Bethesda their first party still doesn't look strong. Of course the Bethesda purchases is a big big deal, but not a big deal enough for Sony to change their strategy.
Of course sony should keep an eye out on purchases that could make a massive difference. Rockstar games, EA, and ubisoft. I doubt anyone can afford Activision

I really can't think of good people for Sony to buy.i thought they bought them after not before. man,.. insomniac was such a steal of a studio.
Bluepoint and House Marquee don't make sense unless Sony is desperate. Sony would have bought the studios during development like they did with Insomniac, instead of waiting for them to release hits that increase their price. More likely they just have first say on publishing their next games.
Kojima Productions seems to want to be independent.
Everyone else makes too many xbox games.

Or well before Miles and Ratchet for PS5.By the same argument Sony is buying Bluepoint after Demon's Souls, well before their Bloodborne, MGS remasters. Or something.
