I think so. I would be surprised if they didn't at least try to appeal it. Be prepared for a bunch of articles repeating what Microsoft's arguments against the cma's decision are when they release their official statement. Though given that Sony's QA with investors and showcase are both tomorrow, MS latest attempt to force the deal through might get buried under all the other news.
I think Sony QA and MS appeal are on the same level. Both are pretty standard procedure, though media may treat the appeal like a bigger deal than it is. Showcase being later in the day actually helps, as it will be the last big story of the day and the biggest one. Any traction the appeal gets will end once the show starts.

Worth mentioning that a non profit assessed the credibility of companies' climate pledges recently. Sony and Apple are moderately credible, no one has high integrity, and all of these claims are net zero or neutral over the next 7-17 years. Note that Microsoft's pledge to be carbon negative, and reverse ALL emissions it's caused since the 1970s is not even featured. The equivalent of being too incredulous to even assess, or the result of having an opaque process that can't be assessed.
Allowing MS to gain power at the expense of Apple and Sony will have a demonstrably negative effect on the climate.
