Discussion is redacted but Ryan says it supports this concern pic.twitter.com/M86CBm3CcY— Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) June 21, 2023Sony complained that its game development would be interrupted since it “could no longer share confidential details about its next console in development”.The impact of this is obvious – if PlayStation no longer feels confident sharing PS6 details, this would severely hamper, if not completely obliterate, Activision Blizzard’s efforts to develop games for the console.Follow-up statements from Ryan addressing the impact on Sony were heavily redacted from court documents.However, he was also concerned that Activision Blizzard would not have an incentive to develop PlayStation-only features into its games, such as the use of the DualSense’s haptic feedback if it was owned by Microsoft.“I believe that [Microsoft]’s incentives – their primary incentive will, at

deposition transcript for the FTC vs Microsoft and Activision Blizzard King case, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CEO Jim Ryan explained why the company wouldn’t be able to share key info about its upcoming PlayStation console with Activision were Activision to be bought by Microsoft (via Stephen Totilo).“We simply could not run the risk of a company that was owned by a direct competitor having access to that information,” Ryan said, alluding to the possibility that if Sony shared info with Activision to help it craft console-exclusive features for hypothetical PlayStation 6 launch titles, Activision’s (would-be) parent company, Microsoft, would examine the details of the still-in-development PlayStation 6 and have unfair knowledge of what its rival was cooking up. This knowledge would possibly enable Microsoft to integrate its competitor’s console’s benefits into its own next-generation hardware.Ryan also said he believed Activision under Microsoft would not be incentivized to take advantage of unique PlayStation features, as Activision would be focused first and foremost on making its game experiences great on Microsoft’s systems (Xbox and PC).
