The war of words we have witnessed between the two video game giants, Microsoft and Sony, has reverberated across the industry, as attempts to buy Activision Blizzard in a deal valued at US$1.4T 70 billion have become the main concern of analysts, media professionals and critics.

PlayStation is clearly and explicitly seeking to prevent the deal from going through by all possible legal means and means, justifying this by saying that this deal will pose a threat to competition, and is specifically targeting it. In return, Xbox is lobbying regulators to allow this deal to go through.

Both companies use all available means to prove their point before regulators .. even if this requires recognizing the strength of the competitor and limiting its place in the video game market, as happened with Microsoft, when it confirmed that it will continue to be the smallest competitor even after the completion of the deal.

In another twist of events to please regulators, Microsoft recently claimed that Sony's games are better than its own in terms of quality, as the company's view is that PlayStation has more exclusives and therefore doesn't necessarily need titles like Call of Duty to achieve greater success.

The company's statement also confirmed that many of Sony's first-party games are better than its productions, which puts it in a lower category in terms of quality, according to the company's statement. Of course, the company was not satisfied with this. Where it confirmed through the statement that Sony is the most powerful game publisher .. and the dominant home consoles. And that its business is equivalent to the size of Activision's business and twice that of Microsoft's business.

Of course, these statements, in my view, do not represent reality in many respects, and it is clear that the company is deliberately trying to downplay it in order to get its deal approved. And to block the way for regulators to worry and annoy Sony. It also tries hard to show that Sony is doing well.
