After that, I really don't see how FTC will win, the judge brutalised them and barely argued with Microsoft, Lol. Microsoft's lawyer was brilliant, the Judge was on the ball and very smart, I'd be shocked if FTC is given their PI. The judge is a nice lady and praised FTC's effort at the end, Lol.

Can't say anything for certain though, especially about CMA's decision, I'm about 80% that the PI is denied though.

I think for 100% that the Console argument is dead, I'm not as certain with Cloud.

Also they displayed zero harm to consumers, they mentioned Sony more than consumers, even the judge had to call them up on that, Lol.

If this is blocked, it'll 100% be on Cloud and I still think FTC made a piss poor argument there but the Judge could speculate about a future market still.

Good point, neither side did a great job with defending cloud tbh.

Last stat is cool but yikes on the other two, Xbox needs to pick it up. Also does this mean the xbox one is undertracked by a decent bit?



Seems everyone is unanimous that the console argument is dead, Lol.

This could be the kicker though, the FTC did an awful job at arguing but the judge came to her own determination that consoles could go away in the future and cloud grow into something big, she may actually consider it as a potential future market, Idk.

Feels weak still but like I said, I can't be 100%

If it were to be blocked on Cloud then I would say xCloud was Xbox's biggest mistake ever, Lmao.

The Judge on the other hand talked A LOT about the benefits to consumers, in multiple aspects, so may that could outweigh any potential harm to a hypothetical future cloud market.

I talked about it here. Xbox One is under tracked, but need to figure out where I can adjust it up based on available data. As far as Xbox Series we are within the data posted as we have it just topping 22M at the end of May and this data is likely quarterly so through March.

if those 21 million shipped by March. so it means that sales are just a little higher. good job William a decrease of 300 or 400 thousand units then it will be very accurate.



FTC Vs Microsoft 

Me Vs Noble

Bet: I bet Noble that the judge grants the preliminary injunction (PI) and Noble bets that no such injunction happens. I'm on team FTC, Noble on team Microsoft. 

Winner owes the other a $70 game. 

Gonna be $140 richer by September.
