Monopoly power is the power that a single company or small group of companies (called a monopolist) have over setting the prices in a single market. A monopoly occurs when a single company is the only provider of a product or service in a given market sector. In order for a monopoly market to exist, the market must possess several characteristics: the market must have a very high barrier to entry; and the existing firm must have an economy of scale, they must be the only sellers in the market, and they must have the ability to set the prices.
Activision being solely on MS platform is a monopoly 😂
Activision on Ubisoft, or ANY OTHER PLATFORM is not. I don’t expect you to understand this considering your previous lack of reading comprehension, but competition on price amongst resellers like Ubi creates a market, instead of. A. MONOPOLY.
Maybe you should Google the meaning of nascent while you’re at it.
Oh, and what’s next week’s lottery numbers, seeing as you’re a prediction expert. 😂🤡
Edit. And you’re wrong on the FTC part as well
Agency alleges that maker of Xbox would gain control of top video game franchises, enabling it to harm competition in high-performance gaming consoles and subscription services by denying or degrading rivals’ access to its popular content
So by your flawed definition Microsoft already have a monopoly since their first party games are only on xcloud? That also means sony have a cloud monopoly too, since their first party games are only on PS+ 😂.
You clearly don’t understand what a monopoly is. Activision games only being on one platform doesn’t make a monopoly. You’re saying that Activision games are so powerful in the industry that without them no competing platform can survive. Is that what you think? Funny, because the Switch has no Activision games and it’s trouncing the competition 😂. Oh but also by your definition the switch has a monopoly since nintendo games aren’t on any other consoles 😆.
By your definition all 3 console makers have a monopoly 😂 😂 😂
How am I wrong about the FTC? They don’t mention the cloud streaming market as a concern, just consoles and game subscription services.
You really need to get an adult to read and explain this stuff to you. Maybe ask your teacher tomorrow.
Lol, I don’t make the definitions dipstick, it is what it is.
Here, let me Google that for you
The agency alleges that the deal would enable Microsoft to suppress competitors to its Xbox gaming consoles and its rapidly growing subscription and cloud-gaming business.
Lol, I don’t make the definitions dipstick, it is what it is.
So you agree that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have a monopoly in video game consoles? And that both Sony and Microsoft have a monopoly in the cloud gaming market?
You know that by definition more than 1 company can’t have a monopoly, right?
Re: cloud I apologize as I misremembered, probably because they basically didn’t argue cloud at all in their court cases that they lost.
That’s not a thing lol. You can’t have a monopoly on a developers games 😂.
Sony bought insomniac, therefore they have a monopoly on insomniac games, right? So that acquisition should have been blocked unless they sold the publishing rights to a third party, right?
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Monopolies are about markets, not individual products within a market.
Monopoly power is how you get a monopoly ffs

You didn’t answer the question. Answer it.
Microsoft will have a monopoly on Activision games. It’s a vertical monopoly…
That’s not a thing lol. You can’t have a monopoly on a developers games 😂.
Sony bought insomniac, therefore they have a monopoly on insomniac games, right? So that acquisition should have been blocked unless they sold the publishing rights to a third party, right?

Ok so the FTC and the CMA are wrong, but an ms fanboi is right. GG
