what’s not monopolistic about

Literally the fact that they don't have a monopoly, and are still nowhere near being a monopoly. Do you even know what a monopoly is?

I mean fuck dude they literally talked about using microsoft’s money to run sony out of the business, you can go read it.

They said that they could, which is true. They haven't though. Even then - not monopolistic.

The company in 3rd place out of 3 cannot be a monopoly lol.

They are trying to become one

And you don't stop a purchase by the last placed competitor based on that. Every for-profit company in the world wants to become a monopoly.
