From the link:

Yes, but: A Microsoft representative told Axios that the company cannot legally share the email's contents, but that it was sent by Booty in 2019.

That would mean that whatever Booty may have said about Xbox trying to beat PlayStation preceded the company's early 2022 bid to buy Activision Blizzard.

Yeah… don’t they get that makes it worse since it shows forethought?

That is making the assumption that the statement - which we haven't actually seen - can be tied back to the Activision thing whatsoever.

Without actually knowing what the statement was, this is nothing but inviting people to fill in the blank however they wish.
