The Last Case of Benedict Fox - Combat Trailer - YouTube

Not necessarily Xbox related since he's Microsoft's Lead Communications, not Xbox.

Although those Minecraft Legends previews should be fairly close and then ESO Necrom.

He did communicate the Xbox Cloud deals as well.

One leading antitrust lawyer said: "This is a very unusual development. In CMA-era cases, there has only been one other occurrence of 'updated' provisional findings that I'm aware of." "This is extremely unusual," said an ex-CMA lawyer. "Restating your provisional findings is something you would rather die than do."

Prototype, as a 3rd person action-adventure title, helps fill what is currently the 4th biggest gap in Xbox's 1st party lineup (1st-3rd are JRPG's, fighting games, and platformers). Considering Sony is strongest in 3rd person action-adventure, Xbox needs to be doing more to counter them in that genre for sure. 

Reviving Guitar Hero would be cool for sure, but the main sticking point there is the peripheral cost, finding a way to bring it back without making people spend too much on a guitar controller that will only be used on Guitar Hero itself, if they could find a way to make the earlier Rock Band and Guitar Hero controllers from 360 work on Xbox Series that would certainly help somewhat.

They realized they fucked up bad on that "CoD effect on the ecosystem" math I guess.

Yup. I think CMA dropped the Console SLC because of the Maths error and once it was corrected they had absolutely no way of claiming an SLC.

I think they were maybe worried about their near perfect record and a mistake as big as this had a strong chance of CAT actually siding against them for once, which would have been a large stain on their history, a pretty large fumble and very well spotted by Microsoft. As soon as Microsoft pointed it out we were all like "Yup, this is heading to CAT"

Basically they couldn't keep the error in because CAT would smack it down but once they fixed the error, it destroys their already weak SLC claim.

Could have been maybe the first? example of CAT siding against CMA with an error that large. Now we're left with just Cloud SLC and really that would be a very stupid block so I think they take what they can get and take the concessions, maybe push Microsoft a little further but ultimately approve. There may be a chance that CMA/EC work together on this.

Hope that Phil takes some studios out of the CoD mines to make some exclusive games, keep Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Raven on CoD and let the rest work on whatever they want.

Happy to be one step closer to this deal ending.

Also give me Master Chief, Doom Slayer and BJ as Warzone packs.
