How would you assess the situation?
Excerpt from the Scalable Newsletter:
Wargames - $SONY (+0.27%) vs. $MSFT (+0.41%)
According to the U.S. daily newspaper "Politico", the U.S. antitrust authority FTC is planning to file a lawsuit against Microsoft's planned purchase of the computer game company $ATVI Activision Blizzard. Proceedings against the $69 billion deal could be initiated as early as December. The takeover is also being examined by authorities in the European Union and the United Kingdom, which is not unusual for deals of this size.
$SONY (+0.27%) Sony, however, actively complained to several competition authorities. The Japanese company fears that Activision games will only be available for Microsoft's Xbox in the future. Microsoft already agreed to publish the very popular tactical shooter series "Call of Duty" for Sony's PlayStation as well.
Wait and see, watch the prices and buy shares in case of a slump?
