In the current generation of console sales XBOX is a distant third. silly to nut pick a "cloud gaming share" and claim monopoly status. The Series X is struggling and there are serious problems with Microsoft's first party dev studios. Layoffs made thing worse, in 2022 no major exclusives were released for the console. im prob missing something but imo, the UK regulator should not have the authority to block a deal between two American companies that do most of its business in the US and the EU. XBOX+Activision will be third in terms of gaming revenue, behind Sony and Tencent, and may be behind Nintendo too, as the new Zelda game is coming out next month. This is not a juggernaut by any means. #Game addicts 🤪🎮
