US Senator questions Sony's exclusivity deals and anti-competitive practices in gaming industry.

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer has sent a letter to Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida expressing concern about Sony's efforts to protect its gaming console business from competition. Cramer is asking Sony to provide unredacted copies of all agreements that provide Sony with an exclusive right to distribute a game developed by an independent publisher, meaning deals behind PlayStation-exclusive games like Final Fantasy XVI that isn't also announced for Microsoft's Xbox. Cramer also wants to see Sony's internal strategy documents around its 2022 purchase of Destiny-maker Bungie, plus all correspondence with federal or state regulators over competition in gaming.
