"[Sony Interactive Entertainment] is extremely sceptical that an agreement with Microsoft could be reached, much less monitored and enforced effectively," Sony declared.

Sony also cited Microsoft's"history of non-compliance with behavioral commitments" as reason not to allow its purchase of Activision Blizzard, and recommended to the CMA that the merger be blocked – or subjected to a structural remedy instead of a behavioral one.
