PlayStation fans rejoice! Even Xbox reckons PS exclusives are better

There’s been a big development in the on-going drama around Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard today. The merger (that kicked off back in January 2022 this year) has been the source of much chagrin for Sony, and there’s been something of a back and forth between the companies as the deal approaches its completion.

There are a variety of government bodies currently scrutinising the the deal, and one of them is the UK’s department of Competition and Markets Authority. As part of the case studying whether the anticipated acquisition by Microsoft Corporation of Activision Blizzard is all above board and healthy for the overall video game market, the government body has published both Sony and Microsoft’s responses to its findings.

The results are very telling. As well as some choice lines about how many players or games each platform has (“there were over 280 exclusive first- and third-party titles on PlayStation in 2021, nearly five times as many as on Xbox”, says Microsoft in its reply), there are some insightful looks at how each company regards its own games.
