After a series of leaks in the past week, Microsoft on Wednesday confirmed its next video game consoles will be released on Nov. 10.

Microsoft has the brand recognition, network-effect advantage and resources to continue winning in the markets it serves.

Federal regulators are ramping up their investigation of the market dominance of giant tech companies, demanding detailed information on five companies’ acquisitions of smaller firms back to 2010.

Amazon wants President Donald Trump to submit to questioning over the tech company’s losing bid for a $10 billion military contract.
