During the Microsoft vs. FTC trial, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan took to the stand and said that he did not view Starfield's Xbox console exclusivity as "anti-competitive."
Considering PlayStation lives and breathes their exclusives, it would be insane for him to really say anything else no matter how much it pisses him off.
Exclusives aren’t inherently anti competitive. It could be argued that buying up all the biggest 3rd party studios with unlimited money, and making all the most popular multi platform games exclusive is, though.

I can just imagine the craziness that would result if he admitted that exclusives are anti-competitive. That would go so badly for all console makers.

Hmm interesting idea.
