Although Microsoft owns Minecraft, the mega-hit block-builder earns much more revenue on competing platforms like the Switch and PlayStation than on Xbox.
From this trial I think it’s become clear that Microsoft is trying to use this same strategy with Call of Duty as they are with Minecraft. This is a massive acquisition and cutting off revenue by removing the highest grossing platform (PS5) would be a terrible move by Xbox.
Microsoft has a long history of being monopolistic and anti competitive behavior so it’s not surprise a trillion dollar company tries to consolidate further.
