Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[Johnic]

Phil getting called out for MS's tendency to contort market share perceptions among various regulatory bodies when trying to argue their position in the market. Inconsistent presentation of their own market share, when it's convenient
Phil being pushed to agree that Xbox is more competitive with PS in US, tries to deflect, gets pushed again, admits.

Appreciate the updates.

Phil has also been stuttering alot.
They did not prepare him for this at all

Lord Spencer must never be questioned.

I think he's more accustomed to dealing with sympathetic (and paid) media and interviewers who would never ask him to be truthful or call him out on his lies.

Michael Acton says Phil has a faint smile from time to time. Not sure if it's a nervous smile or a cocky one.

He always has that dick head, snake smile it's one of the reasons he annoys me.

So, it means that MS is, once again, getting roasted. Good.

Apparently there are multiple consoles on the judge's desk. Likely there to help her keep up with which console is which during discussions.

How does it blow up in sonys face?

In the USA they are alot more competitive with xbox marketshare wise.

Besides sony aren't the ones making the high performance console market defintion.

That's the important part; Sony can always assume plausible deniability in creating that term, because they aren't the ones who did. Nor are they the ones pushing it in a legal case.

Guys don’t worry neither Microsoft or any other company like the house of mouse, will be able to buy Square Enix.

Recommend to read this thread.

Maybe someone invite this gentleman to IconEra. He seems quite knowledgeable.

Holy fucking shit Phil.
Can we have some receipts over at "Sony is using their money to exclude Microsoft from the list of release platforms" when yesterday they admitted to paying money to change an INKED contract to remove Sony PS5 from the release platforms of Indiana Jones

 

[AshHunter216]

Phil is now talking about Sony being hostile and using the cut from games that MS releases on their platforms in order to attack them with exclusives.

Anyone got a link for the hearing?

There was one posted on the previous page of this thread.

All of this is really for nothing. We know that the judge has already made up her mind and will rule in favor of MS in the end. Because in the end, MS always gets what they want.

 

[BlueLyria]

Phil, when was FF 16 ever announced to Xbox?

At least they got to fight for it and pay millions to lawyers and such to get it.
