FTC v. Microsoft: all the news from the big Xbox courtroom battle
See all Stories
Microsoft’s lawyer is questioning the FTC’s economic expert, Dr. Robin Lee. He has defined the PlayStation and Xbox as a “high performance” console market that’s separate to the Nintendo Switch.
This has been an argument between Microsoft and the FTC for all three days of this hearing. Microsoft’s lawyer is bringing up documents from Sony where it describes the Nintendo Switch as a competitor for contracts with Activision.
Lee is rather evasive in his answers about how he has defined the console market, which you can tell is frustrating Microsoft’s lawyer Beth Wilkinson.
I find this whole argument tedious. Of course PlayStation and Xbox compete with Nintendo Switch, but not in the same way as they compete with each other.
