The logic doesn't make sense, and Microsoft also doesn't have a market power advantage here.

The Xbox Series X/S has been a bit of a boondoggle and Sony is vastly outselling Microsoft this generation. Not to mention the existence of Nintendo, Valve and other PC gaming stores. The argument that this would weaken competition for gaming consoles is laughable.

Sony and Nintendo have exclusive games to gain an advantage. Now an American company wants to do the same thing, and they are blocked.

American companies are being put at a competitive disadvantage due to ridiculous anti-trust interpretations. Basically the CMA and FTC are trying to prevent any American tech company from acquiring another tech company for political points at home. How did we get to this point?

It is extremely dangerous to throw logic out the window, as this results in bureaucrats picking winners and losers.
