Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

I didn’t say they had the highest specs on paper, I said they were superior, and I was talking about now.

The PS5 outperforms the Series X in most games despite having slightly worse specs on paper. But it’s basically the same. The fact that you can get a digital console for $400 and add a standard Nvme drive instead of a proprietary card makes the whole package way cheaper too.

But I’d you want to talk about past consoles, the N64 having a much faster CPU didn’t matter a ton when the limitations of carriage storage prevented or delayed a lot of third party titles. They did the same thing by using the mini disc in the game cube. Sony screwed this up during the PS3 era with how difficult it was to program for. But the 360 was defective, and the wii was under powered and pretty much broke them off to do their own thing. so that’s really a wash.
