Exactly my point. If a competition regulator took a look at the acquisition and saw the PS4/NX as a conflict, it would passed off as nothing more than a bulletpoint compared to the broader business objectives of cloud, PC and mobile hardware.
It's utter madness to assume they would do this to give Sony a hard time as their primary objective (especially considering the Minecraft revenue), and the regulator would think the same.
They have to be professional about it as well, which I think they would be.
Sony/Nintendo and whoever else would be well aware of the benefits MS gain from owning AMD and having them in-house to design and make any next Xbox console which should be a huge benefit for them cost wise (and power if it suits) which competitors wouldn't have because they have to pay [more] for the service.
I can't see Microsoft causing problems for the competition over games consoles though that would be an incredibly narrow minded and poor way of doing business, whether Sony or Nintendo (probably less likely for Nintendo if AMD are involved in NX) opt to go elsewhere for their own reasons would be a different scenario but I can't see a situation where they are forced to do it.
