| Signalstar said: MS basically has a green light to acquire any companies that are smaller than ABK because if this couldn't be blocked on monopoly grounds it is hard to see how any other acquisition could be deemed a similar threat. They could probably get away with buying any company besides EA, Take Two, Valve, Sony, and Nintendo. They might encounter some resistance if they tried to buy Capcom or Ubisoft. |
To be fair, if part of the grounds that were used to allow Xbox to purchase ABK in the first place were that Xbox (Not Microsoft as a whole) is a relatively small player in the gaming industry, then their actions will potentially come under even more scrutiny as they can't just keep using the same excuse that they are the smallest player in the market anymore.
