US Senator Criticizes Sony's Dominance in Japanese Gaming Market
TL;DR Summary
US Senator Maria Cantwell claims that Sony controls a "monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market" in Japan and has engaged in "blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers." While the accuracy of these claims is uncertain, they could potentially impact Microsoft's pursuit of Activision Blizzard and its efforts to expand its gaming division to compete with Sony in Japan. The US regulator is scheduled to present its findings on the ActiBlizz deal on August 2nd, 2023.
