Microsoft criticized the CMA for launching an in-depth investigation of the deal with Activision Blizzard
The corporation said that the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) does not have enough grounds to launch a more detailed investigation. She believes that the regulator has not been critical enough of Sony‘s position.
Microsoft indicated that even if all Call of Duty users leave, the PlayStation audience will still significantly exceed the Xbox audience. In addition, as of 2021, Sony had over 280 exclusives — five times more than Microsoft.
Microsoft also stated that it occupies the last place in the console market, the seventh in the PC market and is not represented in the mobile market at all.
