10 US Representatives, both Republican and Democrat, have now joined Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell in asking US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimonda to pressure Japan on why their regulatory agency is allowing Sony to participate in anti-competitive console exclusivity deals with Japanese developers and publishers, when Sony holds 98% of the "high-end console" marketshare in Japan.

I obtained two letters sent by House reps. The Republican one's a bit spicierhttps://t.co/spi4SqqCYw
The letter sent by 4 Republicans states:
“The Japanese government’s effective policy of non-prosecution when it comes to Sony appears to be a serious barrier to U.S. exports, with real impacts for Microsoft and the many U.S. game developers and publishers that sell globally but see their earnings in Japan depressed by these practices,”
The letter sent by 6 Democrats contains similar messaging.
