    Where are you getting that the software revenues are close?

    Sony and microsoft financial reports.

    You can’t just say that acquisitions should never be allowed

    Yes i can say large companies should not be allowed to buy other large companies. Yes it could create monopolies when a gaming manufacturers buy the biggest franchises like microsoft it doing. They own minecraft which sold 300 millions copies

    You just a dumb fanboy who will be mad if sony was the one buying activision

      Source with actual numbers please :). Also make sure you’re using the pre-acquisition numbers, which HALVES Xbox’s revenue.

      Microsoft bought Mojang, an indie dev lol. There’s no world in which that should have been prevented lol.

      If you can’t see a difference between the overwhelming market leader buying companies and the distant last place buying companies, you need to go and have an adult explain what anti-competition and trust laws are about.

      Think about it like this - Apple would and should be allowed to buy Pepsi Co, but the Coca Cola company wouldn’t. Do you understand why? Apple being a massive trillion dollar company doesn’t, and shouldn’t, automatically prevent them from buying other companies.
