Yeah, lock him in jail! Only over half of the console market in UK!
no
i told them the series S would not make anyone buy an Xbox, they didn’t believe me
I believe the best is the deal to be approved already.
Well, tbf, the CMA is worried about cloud monopoly, not console monopoly.The CMA must stop this monopoly blocking the ABK acquisition... oh, wait!

I tried to explain that in a Brazilian forum some days ago... I was replied several times with comments from people that it was a smart move from MS.
Because they realized MS is not aiming console market... they give up already.Well, tbf, the CMA is worried about cloud monopoly, not console monopoly.
Well, independently if they are acquired or not (I think they will), I expect to see all the Activision studios to continue focused on CoD with the exception of a single studio to work on Crash or Spyro from time to time. Regarding Blizzard, I think Overwatch and Warcraft will continue decreasing their popularity, but Diablo IV I think will be fine. I don't have high hopes for their new IP. I am not sure about Starcraft 3 but it has potential to be a huge success in Korea and China.
Well, for these markets where consoles are too insanely expensive Series S is a great idea, specially now that with crossgen games they run well. The problem I think is that these countries represent a small portion of the global market. And I assume it's going to be a bigger issue in the future with high end next gen only engines start to take advantage of the next gen hardware.
People are too focused on the monopoly things. The real issues are anti competitive tactics. using a major corporation to subsidize a small part of it to bleed the competition out is anti competitive and is the issue here.The CMA must stop this monopoly blocking the ABK acquisition... oh, wait!

Me too but sometimes I think what will be of Activision Blizzard if that deal doesn't go ahead?
Yep, I see them in stores too. No problem getting an Xbox of any kind at retail in the U.S.
I assume MS will try it again but buying only a portion of the company and selling the rest to somebody else.
To be fair, Sony had a 45% of the worldwide console market during PS4, and they aim with PS5 to rise it to 55%. If it's a 50% globally with Switch now starting to sunset I don't think it will be a disaster for MS.
A lot of the “You can’t find XBX anywhere” bullshit is from idiots who don’t count the bundles.
For that to be true, they’d have to actually, you know, publish games. That seems to be an issue for them of late.
