Analysis: What Microsoft’s Activision deal means for Xbox and the industry

Activision Blizzard strengthens Xbox's content, brings mobile and PC expertise, and weakens Sony's position

In a New York Times interview this month, he claimed persistent Xbox shortages were not actually a result of less consoles being produced than was the case in previous generations. Instead, scarcity has been caused by a surge in demand since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Xbox owner Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it intends to acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.

Giving Xbox exclusive ownership of Call of Duty, Warcraft, Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero and more, the deal is expected to close during Microsoft’s fiscal year ending in June 2023.
