Tech giants clash over Microsoft's Activision Blizzard deal and Xbox exclusivity.

Microsoft is criticizing the UK’s Competition and Market Authority’s (CMA) financial model that calculated Microsoft could turn a profit by withholding Call of Duty from PlayStation to draw former Sony fans to Xbox. Microsoft argues that the CMA’s financial modeling is flawed. Sony has also filed its own response to the CMA, once again reiterating its fears that Microsoft could strategically or incidentally degrade the quality and performance of Call of Duty on PlayStation, withhold Call of Duty from PlayStation consoles, or raise the price of Call of Duty. Microsoft is also facing regulatory scrutiny from the European Commission and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
