Theoretically, the way it works is each one of those sales should go through until you hit the one that would push them over the edge to monopoly. You don’t block a purchase because of purchases you expect them to make in the future (unless stuff has already been signed)

Funnily enough, the only reason I found this is I said when the PS5 released that it was too big and I’d wait for a slim version. But within the past few months I got impatient, thinking maybe it’d never come out. So this was like my final try to see if there was any news about it maybe coming and I found this article lol

Well the main reason to block the purchase would be to prevent a monopoly so their point is that they’re far behind so the purchase will put them more on par. I don’t know if I buy that logic but that’s what they’re trying to say.

On the PS5? There are tons, including first party content like Horizon: Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarock. Most major titles that have released in the last 3 years are available on the PS5

TL;DR - Microsoft is fighting for their purchase of Activision-Blizzard to go through. Their latest argument is that they’re in third in the console wars (behind the PS5 and the Switch) and Sony will likely make more money from the PS5 Slim which they claim is releasing later this year at $399.
