In Multi-game Subscription Services it is also 0-5%.

Other interesting data is that In PC Operating Systems Microsoft has a 75% market share in Japan!

Does this mean that the FTC isn't a requirement for the merger agreement?

So if FTC still doesn't approve after everyone else, they'll simply verbally waive the FTC requirement away and close the deal?

Am I reading that right?

MS already came out and said if the EU and CMA pass the deal then they will close, then the FTC can sue if they really want to. Although that could just be talk to push the FTC into investigating to the point of realising how much of a waste of money that would be.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

I decided to do a cursory look at how many Series X's are "missing" due to Xbox Cloud Gaming

It's possible over 1M in server blades and a total of 2M or more by August 2023 going by older stats and the thought they want no server capacity issues https://t.co/2kTLuUSEY3 pic.twitter.com/yhw5SbY8M7

The Japan Fair Trade Commission approved the Microsoft-Activision merger and has published a document outlining its rationale for approval.

The doc clearly shows that the other missing member of the Big 3 is incredibly important.

Japan didn't lose the plot and kept Nintendo in the same market.
