Pretty ironic that Sony pushed this idea that Nintendo doesn't compete for the same gamers as Xbox and Sony, and coined the term "high-end console market" in order to exclude Nintendo from regulatory consideration after Xbox suggested to regulators that Nintendo Switch is evidence that a gaming platform can not only survive, but thrive, without CoD releases, and now their own "high-end console market" terming is being used against them.
I doubt much will come of this though, even if Tai and Raimonda do pressure Japan on why the Japanese FTC is allowing these deals, I don't expect the Japanese FTC to actually start blocking Sony from making these timed and full console exclusive deals with JP devs and publishers in the future.
