Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has spoken strong words about rival Sony amid the battle over whether or not regulators allow Microsoft’s bid to buy Activision Blizzard. He said on the Second Request podcast that Sony was trying to grow its own business by downsizing Xbox.
“There’s really only been one major naysayer to the deal, and that’s Sony. Sony is trying to protect its console dominance. The way they’re growing is to make Xbox smaller,” he said. said Spencer. “They have a very different view of the industry than we do. They don’t ship their games day and date on PC, they don’t put their games on subscription when they launch their games. They’re starting to think about the mobile as I see it from the outside, just reading some of the moves they make.”
