Everything what Microsoft thinks and does is under fire due to Activision merger injunction lawsuit by FTC.

Yes, I understand that, but how does the Microsoft/Activision merger have anything to do with Sony?

@vita_man @Jongaros Sony is fighting against the merger based on the possibility of Microsoft taking acitvision titles (such as Call of Duty) off of PlayStation and making them Microsoft exclusives. Sony arguing that a software monopoly is possible and would hurt their hardware sales.

Part of being sued in court is a process called "discovery" where a whole host of internal documents are disclosed to the opposing side.

It wouldn't surprise me, as part of the merger lawsuit, that a bunch of internal plans were revealed to both sides.
