Microsoft has defended its proposal to buy Activision Blizzard - the maker of Call of Duty and Candy Crush - at an EU competitions hearing.

Microsoft says it believes the $68.7bn (£56.8bn) deal will bring more choice to more gamers.

But rival Sony, which also attended the hearing, says the merger would give Microsoft too much control over some of the world's most popular games.

Sony owns PlayStation - a major rival to Microsoft's Xbox console.

Microsoft president Brad Smith described the EU hearing on Tuesday as "an important day".

He also rejected concerns voiced by Sony that Activision Blizzard games - specifically Call of Duty - might become restricted to Xbox users if the merger goes ahead.
