Breh you spend all your free time on here console warring, I wouldn't put it past you
Like i said, theres a huge gulf between shyt posting on a forum and writing letters to regulators pleading for a corporation to get to buy another company.
My #teamblue #sonygang shyt begins and ends in the arcadium

It bolsters his point. You don't need COD to survive as Nintendo is clearly demonstrating. However, Microsoft wants to put it on Nintendo platforms.
The biggest reason the game is what it is is due to half of it's revenue coming from PS customers. HALF.
And if it were exclusive to xbox nikkas would buy the xbox.

Its a deflection. MS isnt buying away third party support from Nintendo. Why would Nintendo complain?
This is like MS buying Pokemon since its third party and saying "well, Sony didnt complain", "Sony doesnt need Pokemon to compete".
And, MS can say whatever they want, but they've clearly demonstrated an unwillingness to put anything in writing for regulators until today.

Microsoft isn't giving COD the same level of relevance as Sony because COD does not account for 1-2% of the entire company's revenue yearly like it does for Sony. King is what they are after. Blizzard is what they are after. Activision is 3rd. COD is a byproduct of their desires but that being said, call of duty is going to become even bigger now since they are going to follow the minecraft template for it and have the wherewithal to make it happen. It become less about the platform and more about the game. That's why Sony is fighting this. They want to be viewed as synonymous with the game and by placing it everywhere, playstation just becomes one of many places to play it.
The regulators concern shouldn’t be to protect one company.
If a thing is “anti-competitive” than more than one competitor would have gripes.
It’s only sony with the problem.
Exactly that should be the end of the discussion.

It is the regulators job to protect the market from anti-competitive practices, such as hindering direct competitors for self gain.
Buying away third party support to put behind your own walled garden is anti-competitive.
And if it were exclusive to xbox nikkas would buy the xbox.
and that's the point of this whole thing.
Let me know when MSFT fails. 
Sony=/=The Market.
The market thinks the deal is fine, even a good thing.
Only sony is complaining.
