    Without the text of the email how does this news mean anything other than “one side of a legal battle believes they are in the right”?

    And aside from the fact that I’m not sure how buying Activision would “eliminate” any gaming platform, how much does that differ from the stance any business has? Does anyone believe that Sony is not out to “eliminate” Microsoft, to borrow the term?

      Because Activision is the single most important third-party game maker in the world outside of Japan. You wouldn’t believe how many tens of millions of people buy PlayStations only to play CoD to the exclusion of everything else. If Microsoft gets CoD as an exclusive, then Sony will lose half their audience outside of Japan.

      And Microsoft is a two-bit company that can’t stand one bit of competition. Sony can’t eliminate Microsoft; a lot of their software was made for Windows.
