Microsoft recently told the UK's Competition and Markets Authority that Sony has better-made games than Xbox. The assertion was made on October 31, but a recent court filing made it public.
Sony is one of the most popular brands in video gaming. Microsoft said about Sony, "Sony is the dominant console provider and a powerful game publisher." They went on to say, "Sony is roughly equivalent in size to Activision and nearly double the size of Microsoft's game publishing business."
Comparing the data, Microsoft wrote that Sony had five times
as many of their 280 exclusive first- and third-party titles. Besides owning
popular game franchises like God of War and Spider-Man, Sony has signed deals
with third-party publishers for exclusive rights to games.
Microsoft has claimed that their console's exclusives accounted
for more sales of the PlayStation than Microsoft. In a blog post, the company
shared review scores for PlayStation and Xbox, stating that "the average
Metacritic score for Sony’s top 20 exclusive games in 2021 was 87/100, against
80/100 for Xbox."
California's Department of Justice (CMA) has launched an
investigation into Microsoft's pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard,
which has raised concerns by Sony. Sony fears this merger could mean that Call
of Duty will be exclusively Xbox-based and no longer available to PlayStation
members.
