Microsoft is either the No. 4 or No. 5 competitor in the video game industry, depending on how you count, he said. And the No. 1 player, Sony Group Corp., has made several recent acquisitions. "So if this is about competition, let us have competition," Nadella said.Seems like he is including Apple/Google in this list of competitors.
I don't think Sony is the number 1 by any such measure though. I am pretty sure Tencent has been #1 as of the past year or two.
Also insane that he's equating Sony's recent acquisitions as being anything remotely on the scale of Activision.
