Sony withholds PlayStation 6 plans from Activision amid Microsoft-Activision deal scrutiny.

Sony has stated that it will not share plans for the PlayStation 6 with Activision Blizzard if Microsoft's acquisition of the company goes through, as it cannot risk giving "immensely sensitive" information to a direct competitor. This could potentially interrupt Sony's game development process and prevent games like Call of Duty from appearing as launch titles. The issue highlights the challenges of owning multiplatform game developers in the current console generation. The FTC's decision on whether to impose a preliminary injunction on the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard deal will be a major milestone in its journey.
