The mega-deal 'raises concerns about cloud and console gaming' and 'could result in higher prices, fewer choices or less innovation,' the Competition and Markets Authority says in its provisional conclusions, highlighting the possible impact on Sony's PlayStation.

“could harm U.K. gamers” and “substantially reduce” competition, a British regulator found in a provisional analysis unveiled on Wednesday. The mega-deal “raises concerns about cloud and console gaming” and “could result in higher prices, fewer choices or less innovation,” the Competition and Markets Authority said.

The $68.7 billion transaction “could make Microsoft even stronger in cloud gaming, stifling competition in this growing market and harming U.K. gamers who cannot afford expensive consoles,” it added. It “could also harm U.K. gamers by weakening the important rivalry between Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles.”
