"I'm told" oh yeah, definite lobbying going on here.

The FTC market definition is proving to be really stupid and now we're seeing why, Lol.

They've changed a market from a 3 competitor competition (Microsoft, Sony & Nintendo) where whilst Sony does dominate Xbox in it still, they're 2nd to Nintendo (although not too far behind) to it now being two separate markets, one where it's just Sony & Xbox and Sony absolutely dominates Xbox in it, outselling them by more than double last gen and the 2nd market just being Nintendo who now have a monopoly, Lmao.

They can now exclude Switch entirely from the Japanese market thanks to FTC's definition and say that Sony has a 98% share of that market and are allowed to moneyhat some of the biggest titles from that market, but not just there, Sony basically dominates Xbox in every major market now except from UK/USA but they still even have strong leads there.

Microsoft can twist FTC's definition in their favour.
