   > The FTC and Microsoft have been arguing about whether the Switch should be included in its definition of the console market for two days now and in multiple filings with the court. Microsoft wants the Switch included because then Xbox is in third place. The FTC argues that inside Microsoft it’s always competing and comparing Xbox to PlayStation, not Switch. It provided market analysis and metrics that Microsoft uses internally to back up its “high performance” console market of just the PS5 and Xbox Series S / X consoles.

     @rabcyr because the FTC is trying to stop the acquisition of Activision by microsoft, so they want a way to construct a monopoly argument.

     @lain Wait until Microsoft asks the FTC if they can include sales of all Raspberry Pi products against the Xbox since Mojang released a kneecapped version of Minecraft: PE for it 10 years ago and never updated it
