Phil needs to stop with this Mr Nice guy act after this deal, I know that Sony are only trying to protect their business but this is pathetic beyond belief.

Sorry to react on your post on this part of the forum, since i'm not a Xbox'user since the first one. But i'm interested in this acquisition, as an european playstation player. This precision is important about how different some see this situation from an american players prspective, i think.
First, Phil and other use PR strategy. As you say, he plays the nice guy, but the CMA notes that every acqusition leads to make games exclusive to Xbox and the deal proposition to let CoD on playstation until 2027 let many thinks it's to make it exclusive for the next generation of consoles.
CMA analysis may be wrong but cannot be downplayed just because now Xbox is not leading the market. The role of the regulatories is to know if the market can be modified and abused in a 10 years span. Xbox says AB is not the last company they want to buy.
I've nothing against Xbox, and i'm not a Cod player, but seems are a little more complicated than CMA wants to protect Sony, there's no risk of market abuse, and the mantra more comptetion is always the best for players.
Sony and Xbox, well each console manufacturer's fan are too entitled with their visions
