Sony hopes Microsoft acquisition of Activision won't make CoD Xbox-only

20 January 2022
Maybe not Call of Duty Vanguard, but likely any next installment will not come to the PS5.

Many people on ps will move to xbox or pc to get cod and sony will lose console sales. Not every ps and xbox player chooses a console for exclusives. Soooo yea.

      Anonymous, 20 Jan 2022Sony vs Microsoft The war is just in the beginingMicrosoft gotta bag Ubisoft next
      Leaving sony desperate

      Microsoft could just end them and buy sony if it's worth it eventually if they no value

        Call of Duty has been terrible for years now anyways. I used to get every new CoD game on release From 2008 - 2015, but since 2015 they started to go downhill and I stopped buying their games. After 2019 they completely murdered themselves with their new camping orientation system and "woke" mentality.

          007, 20 Jan 2022As a many people don't know that who where the one who... moresorry what ????
          you do know Sony rents there servers from MS don't you

          also you know MS can afford to buy Sony close it up and still be in profit at the end of year?

          dont be a pony, remember MS install base is quite a bit bigger than Sony's, they have 2 platforms not 1.

          but this is a ploy for game pass on PS i think, if ps loose cod then some ps5's will be sold and sony loose there montly/yearly income from that sector and thats not small change tbf, cause cod players already pay out monthly but wont have to buy the game on xbox you might see series s sales jump

When Sony acquired Insomniac nothing changed exclusives stayed exclusive.

            Activision sold 62% of modern warfare copies on the PS4, you don't acquire a company that makes a lot of money to cut of why it made so much money.

            much like when Microsoft bough Minecraft, they didn't make it exclusive because they know they'd be loosing out on so much money.

              COD is dead anyway so who would care? Tarkov, Battlefield and Halo are all better...

                Lol no it's not going to become xbox only. There are way too many cod players on PS that are not going to just switch consoles because of one game. Microsoft will make more money farming microtransactions out of this game. And will use this to force sony to improve crossplay for other games. Raking even more mtx commissions

                  If Sony wants COD to be multiplatform then it needs to make Spiderman, Wolverine and other once third party titles it locked behind its exclusive firewall. You can't be hypocrite Sony!

                    cry harder, its gonna be xbox only

                      Yato, 20 Jan 2022*Ehem* PC Port. And i like how the fact that whenever "... moreBecause Nintendo is in a league on its own

                      Nintendo always has the weakest powered consoles..

                      Which is completely opposite to Sony and Microsoft hardware almost

                      And they have the strongest IPs nothing from Activision blizzard can even come close to POKÉMON alone lol

                        its fairly obvious what will happen. COD games will be timed exclusive on Xbox before been released onto ps5.

Also what makes you think xbox wont give good games havent you seen 2018-2021 e3 games are coming in. And itll be xbox and pc only. Since they 1st party. AAA take more than 3 years i believe to make. They have big games coming out.

                            sce, 20 Jan 2022You know Sony is more popular that xbox via sales? 1.Sony ... moreU didnt read anything. I said even after all sales they make they still dont come close to being a trillion dollar company. Microsoft can easily buy sony.

                              If Microsoft will make these games exclusive she will make some money from the XBOX fans and the PC users. But If she will sell the new titles to Sony also, she can make more money and at the loading screen of the game, all Sony users will see the Microsoft or Xbox logo by their surprise ;)

                                  Since xbox one s, microsoft games + console is much cheaper and has better value on every aspect, so i'll support microsoft, sony always make it exclusive and not universal, its really bad for competitive / pvp online.

                                      Can't wait for 2024 and see Microsoft make COD exclusive to XBOX.....If Sony wants to bargain for COD offer an exclusive title to Xbox and Ill assure you wont regret it because Sony will make more money.

                                        Funny how they make exclusives, lock out cross play for the longest time but NOW that Microsoft did a power move, they're scared and hope they don't do the same thing back to them. Lmao, if it wasn't for Sony SLOWLY bringing a couple of their titles to PC, I would wholly say fuck them but they're looking like a bunch of cry babies now anyways
