<\/figure>A judge has set January 3 for the first pre-trial hearing<\/a> in the Biden administration's case against Microsoft<\/a> over its $69 billion bid to take over \"Call of Duty<\/a>\" maker Activision Blizzard<\/a>. The Federal Trade Commission<\/a> (FTC<\/a>), which enforces antitrust law, asked a judge to block the transaction earlier this month, arguing that the merger would allow Microsoft's Xbox to get exclusive access to Activision games<\/a>, leaving Nintendo consoles and Sony's PlayStation out in the cold.
Microsoft has countered that the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, offering to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide \"Call of Duty\" games to rivals including Sony for a decade.
<\/div><\/div>Microsoft made the argument in a filing aimed at convincing a judge at the FTC to allow the deal to proceed.
The case is a sign of the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden taking a muscular approach to anti-trust enforcement<\/a>. But antitrust experts say the FTC faces an uphill battle to convince a judge to block the deal, because of the voluntary concessions offered by Microsoft to allay fears it could dominate the gaming market.
