Its because of GamePass mostly and Microsoft being seen as the most pro consumer platform holder at the moment.
I also think many feel that Sony is unlikely/unwilling/unable to spend, so nothing will be taken away from their platform of choice, while Microsoft will consume the entire industry and we'll be able to access GamePass through mobile phones or Smart TV's, on a cheap monthly fee, while still offering everything multiplatform, with no change to the status quo in the foreseeable future.
In reality, this is mostly applauded by Xbox fans, but I think there is as much opposition to the adoration, that's not just coming from Sony fans. Massive consolidation is going to lead us to having less options on our platform of choice. |
The vast majority of neutral third-party entities applauded this acquisition proposal, you can even see that in the CMA file, pretty much all industry experts were adamant this deal would pass and were baffled by FTC and CMA's decision. Worker and worker unions pleaded for the deal to pass.
So in reality, I have not seen credible opposition outside Xbox detractors while neutral actors were mostly pro.
