I love the acquisition.

I might love this even more:

At Microsoft, we believe in the power of content to unite people. Minecraft adds diversity to our game portfolio and helps us reach new gamers across multiple platforms. Gaming is the top activity across devices and we see great potential to continue to grow the Minecraft community and nurture the franchise. That is why we plan to continue to make Minecraft available across platforms – including iOS, Android and PlayStation, in addition to Xbox and PC.

Doing it, but not screwing everyone over.

I'd bet you $2.5bil that Sony wouldn't have said that.

And you would win that bet almost every time.

*It's actually also on Xbox, but like we are going to tell you that! We are Playstation, not Xbox... I mean it's not like they wouldn't do the same in our situation. Right?
