News of FFXVI being a PS5 exclusive has reached the senate subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2023/0…
@ethangach 98%? Lol who told her that? They had to be playing a prank.
@Aarow_16 @ethangach It's Sonys market share in Japan between just them and Microsoft
@LeanPicachu @ethangach Here is the thing, the US gov isn’t here to decide whether PS has a monopoly in Japan, they are here to judge is they have one in the USA. Japan obviously doesn’t separate Nintendo & PS, the other commissions are concerned with their territory, so this is just inconsequential.
@LeanPicachu @ethangach It’s Japan’s job to decide what is fair in their territory not the US. Like how Brazil has already approved the deal in their territories. So this whole point is stupid. And it doesn’t help that this is essentially lobbying at its best, this politician is backed by Microsoft
@Aarow_16 @LeanPicachu @ethangach Global companies play by global rules. A Japanese company wants to block a US companies merger on the basis of monopoly... Yet the Japanese company has a monopoly on their own territory. Do you see where the concern is coming from now big boy?
@Aarow_16 @LeanPicachu @ethangach It's a matter of "Fine for us to do, but you can't". This now calls into question WHY Sony has such a large market share overseas vs any other home console device, is Japan turning a blind eye and letting Sony not play by the rules everyone else has to. It matters.
@JThePooPeeHead @LeanPicachu @ethangach Sony is a Japanese company but their PS headquarters is ran and operated in USA, this is a way important market to them than Japan. So it’s two companies based in the US fighting over the US, but if you think the USA should have jurisdiction over a foreign power than you should
@JThePooPeeHead @LeanPicachu @ethangach Maybe just sit back play some games and feed your alcoholism. It’s what you’re best at. Leave fat people like myself alone when it comes to foreign affairs and international business. And if you think Japan gives an eff about CoD you’re mistaken.
