    Eh, I’m not that hopeful. the FTC asked them questions but it was never really going to stop them. MS has the capital to buy Sony, if it was feasible to do so. I expect them to continue to buy stuff up until they are actually denied. They have the lawyers to throw at the government in perpetuity.

      That’s far more cynical than I can meet you at, and it’s probably why the merger isn’t “opposed by everyone”. Microsoft is already dancing right up to the line of antitrust, though I suspect that if they’re broken up, the video game division remains in one piece, not several.
