I can't see sony being able to buy a publisher as big as square Enix without it getting blocked. Considering how dominant they are already. |
If they successfully get ABK, Microsoft would be capable of easily stopping Sony's hardware dominance (by making exclusives which they choose not to). Sony buying SquareEnix would have very little effect on Microsoft (much less than Bungie which Sony managed to acquire without much resistance). But them regulators think different and don't seem to take the mid term threats seriously (past the 10 year contracts), or Microsoft's imminent software/subscription dominance. So you may be right.
