In the context of the ongoing war of words between Sony and Microsoft, the head of the gaming department believes the latter that Sony wants to limit the Xbox and make it the smallest in the video game market.

During a talk on the Second Request podcast, he stated Phil Spencer Sony is the only major obstacle still preventing the completion of the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Emphasizing that it is doing everything possible to maintain control of the home appliance market, Spencer added:

Sony is trying to protect its dominance in the home appliance market. The way they're getting bigger is by making the Xbox smaller.

Spencer added that Sony's perspective on the future of video games differs from his perspective, as Sony doesn't put its games on its monthly service from day one and doesn't release its big games on PC at the same time as it releases on PlayStation platforms.

It is worth noting that the acquisition of Xbox from Activision Blizzard, which is valued at 68.7 billion Dollars still faces many obstacles to completion. The most prominent of these is Sony, which sees the conclusion of this deal as promoting an absolute monopoly in the video game market. Meanwhile, the European and British Antitrust Authorities are on Sony's side and are working to examine it before issuing any opinion.

Also recently, the Federal Anti-Monopoly Authority appeared in the United States to join the ranks of Sony Corporation in an attempt to prevent the completion of the deal, which it believes will upset the balance of competition in the video game market.

Spencer said Sony is leading the charge against the deal's implementation to protect its dominant position in the home appliance market, so what they're holding back is Call of Duty. He added that the world's largest console maker is opposing the one title we said would continue to release on its platform.

Brad SmithLast week, Microsoft's boss said in an article published in the Wall Street Journal about the company's offer to keep the Call of Duty game on PlayStation platforms, and also spoke about the ten-year proposal.

Although Nintendo and Valve agreed to this offer, Sony rejected it outright, without explaining the reasons for this rejection.
