We'll just consider Rare's time with MS (2002) compared to Lionhead's existence (1997) lol

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. 

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.

This is where bipartisan support is coming from?!?

Sony gonna be really pissed at the CMA and FTC for excluding Nintendo completely from their investigations lol. Not that this actually means anything and Japan is suddenly going to be like "damn, you're right." 



Ryuu96 on 27 March 2023

🥴

Sony really fucked up with that push to exclude Nintendo huh, Lmao.

I don't even agree with the market definition without Nintendo, I think it's stupid, but Sony brought it on themselves and CMA/FTC decided to go along with the stupid definition so here we are.

What I will say though is that Japan has NOT said they agree with the definition and hasn't actually yet made a single comment on how they define the market so I don't know about going after Japan specifically, yet.

Can't they tell FTC to knock it off instead? Lol.

Today, we write to bring to your attention the imbalanced Japanese video game market, which we are concerned may be a result of a discriminatory trade practice that could violate the spirit of the U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement,”

Between the lines: Article 8 of the 2019 U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement calls for the countries to enable “non-discriminatory treatment of digital products” which would include games. It’s less clear if it would also pertain to game consoles.

What I would say is the angle they're gunning for is interesting....They are targeting US-Japan trade deals, an interesting tactic.
