The Microsoft-FTC court case keeps spilling unexpected beans, startling the community. Sony‘s protest over Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard ended up with the FTC dragging the Xbox makers to court. During the trial, both Microsoft and Sony have laid bare all things for the public to know. As more and more information comes out, fans are livid to know that Sony may put out a brand-new console.

The detail was revealed as Microsoft continues its arguments against Sony and FTC’s allegations of restricting Activision titles to PS users. The alleged new PlayStation device may come out later this year and is rumored to compete directly with the Xbox Series S.

Microsoft-Activision deal giving Sony sleepless nights

Since the announcement made public last year about Microsoft’s plans to take over CoD developers, Sony has been trying hard to stop the acquisition from materializing. Their constant bickering has drawn a lot of attention and the community has kept a keen eye on the matter. Xbox has maintained that the acquisition is not likely to hurt Sony and their leading position in the market is not going to be taken away so easily.

During the court hearings, Respawn Interactive alleged that Sony is misleading the trial with false information. This also made some people suggest that Sony has a lot of vested interest in derailing the Microsoft-Activision deal. Not all of the speculations are unfounded, as it would seem. In new revelations, Xbox has disclosed more intriguing information where the possibility of a new PS console may be on the horizon.
