Microsoft’s announcement about the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard caused some ripples in the community. As the CoD developers were being acquired by the Xbox makers, their competitors made all efforts to stop the deal from going through. Sony left no stone unturned to make sure the acquisition didn’t happen.
Sony’s primary concern was that PlayStation players may be restricted from accessing future Activision titles. Thanks to the PS makers’ persistence, the Federal Trade Commission took Microsoft to court, where they were asked to provide more details on the acquisition.
Microsoft maintained that its acquisition of the Overwatch developers will not affect Sony’s position in the industry. Furthermore, Xbox also claimed that the long list of PS exclusives helps the console’s sales significantly. Following a decision by the judge that favored Microsoft, Sony is supposedly losing multiple franchise collaborations.
Considering all these developments, it wasn’t going to be long before PlayStation started making some major moves. Sony needs to retain its position as the leader in the industry. Recent tweets suggest the possibility of a cheaper PlayStation console and a significant price drop for existing consoles.
Fans speculate about a price drop for PlayStation 5

A recent Twitter post by an industry insider has a cryptic message that has piqued the interest of the gaming community. With only a few emojis and hashtags, the post doesn’t reveal too much. However, that isn’t stopping the fans from trying to come to their own conclusions.
