In the latest war of words over its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft‘s Gaming CEO has claimed that Sony‘s plan for growth is to “make Xbox smaller.” Phil Spencer made the comments during an interview with the Second Request podcast, where the exec claimed that Sony was the “one major opposer to the [Microsoft Activision] deal.” “Sony is trying to protect its dominance on the console. The way they grow is by making Xbox smaller,” Spencer said. “[Sony] has a very different view of the industry than we do. They don’t ship their games day and date on PC, they do not put their games into their subscription when they launch their games.”
