The biggest issue the regulators raised is with the cloud, console sales aren't much of factor anyways.
I don't buy this is sales drop is for the ABK deal.
Maybe, but the more Sony appears to be dominating, it can't hurt Microsoft's image of being a helpless victim or distance second place. The market preception.
I find it hard to believe Microsoft is that stupid or snake bitten to have supply issues and keep on mismanaging their studios. It's drama after drama, I have to wonder how much of it is real or cluelessness.
Now of course, maybe they will announce a new piece of hardware either a cloud device, pro version or slim that makes all this go away.
