FTC v. Microsoft: all the news from the big Xbox courtroom battle
See all Stories
Witness testimony has ended for the day and we’re now on a break until 2:30PM PT / 5:30PM ET. That’s when closing arguments will be heard and this hearing will come to an official close. Not long to go folks.
If you missed Xbox CFO Tim Stuart’s earlier testimony then we have a recap right here. Let’s recap what Stuart said since then:
• Microsoft has Xbox Game Pass strategy tiers
• Microsoft has been contemplating the financial gaps of Xbox exclusivity
• The FTC accidentally lets slip that Xbox Game Pass would need to grow by 2 million subs a year to help offset Call of Duty exclusivity
• Nintendo Switch impacted Xbox Series S pricing
• The Xbox oil company and a mobile future
• Minecraft is a “significant” revenue driver for Microsoft, but not thanks to Xbox.
We’ll be back at 2:30PM PT / 5:30PM ET for closing arguments.
