Congress accuses Sony of unfair business practices against Xbox.

Members of Congress from both parties have sent letters to top Biden officials asking them to tell Japan to give Xbox a bigger share of their market, claiming that Sony has 98% of the console market in Japan and makes exclusive arrangements to keep popular games from Xbox. However, this claim excludes PC, Nintendo, and mobile games, and every video game distributor pays for exclusivity deals. The push to help Microsoft is interesting since it’s about an entirely different country’s antitrust laws, while the US is facing pressing issues such as healthcare and student loans.
