Microsoft's response to a CMA statement on the Activision Blizzard deal has been published... here's the short version of the monster 111-page document!

from last month.

Microsoft claims that"Game Pass has no market power today" in response to CMA Activision Blizzard acquisition statementredacted so as not to reveal facts and figures which could be considered industry secrets — a shame as some of the numbers not presented would make for fascinating reading, although probably a blessing since it's already 111 pages long despite the many cuts — but still contains plenty to work with, even with exact numbers replaced with ranges.

Another interesting passage early in the document compares reported monthly average user bases across the two consoles."PlayStation has more than double the MAUs of Xbox," it opens, effectively revealing rough figures for both — somewhere a little under 60 million a month on Xbox, and a reported number likely a bit shy of 120 million on the Sony side.
