    And Microsoft becoming a monopoly/ having no competition is good? How is anyone supposed to complete with a billion dollar company who can just out buy the competition?

    I take it that if Sony responded with buying out 2K and making all those games exclusive you’d be fine with it because that’s healthy competition for Microsoft?

      Just waiting for Amazon to buy EA or Ubisoft and have them say its exclusice for Amazon Luna subscribers and gamers to go “wow, this is great I can finally play Assassins Creed on my phone and it increases competition!”

      Microsoft aren’t going to have a monopoly in video games at any time in the foreseeable future.

          The fact that they’re a distant third behind Sony and nintendo despite being in the industry for over twenty years.

          What makes you think Microsoft will have a monopoly any time soon? You do understand what a monopoly is don’t you?
