Microsoft on ostamassa itselleen Activision Blizzardia, ja ajan saatossa on nähty varsin piikikkäitä ulostuloja. Nyt sellaisen kohteeksi on joutunut Sony Yhdysvaltain Pohjois-Dakotan senaattori Kevin Cramerin osoitettua Sonylle avoimen kirjeen. Cramer haluaa selvityksen Playstationin yksinoikeussopimuksista, sillä senaattorin mukaan Sonyn toimet eivät ole reiluja kilpailijoita ja kuluttajia kohtaan.
"I'm writing to express concern about Sony's efforts to protect its gaming console business from competition. I am concerned Sony's dominance of that market, and its efforts to perpetuate its current position imperils an important economic development opportunity for North Dakota. Given the growing significance of the gaming industry to North Dakota. I am troubled by reports Sony appears to leverage its cominance to exclude competition rather than enabling choice for players and developers. Increasingly, it appears Sony's dominance is attributable to exclusionary practices, including paying game publishers not to distribute thieir games on rival platforms."
