But I can post proof


"We’d like to bring it to Nintendo devices," Smith stated of the Call of Duty series at large.

"We’d like to bring the other popular titles that Activision Blizzard has, and ensure that they continue to be available on PlayStation, [and] that they become available on Nintendo," Smith continued. He pointed to the Microsoft acquisition of Minecraft developer Mojang as an indicator of what the company wants to do with Call of Duty should the acquisition go ahead.

Sony has expressed its concerns about a potential Call of Duty exclusive status in the future. Although Microsoft has said on numerous occasions that it doesn’t plan to pull Activision Blizzard’s juggernaut from other platforms, the company has remained coy about the future, with the only reassurances it has offered pertaining to existing games like Warzone.

Sony thinks Call of Duty exclusivity will hurt PlayStation’s sales​


 
Sony>>>>>MS
Also as stated numerous times... MS offering 3 more games paints a clear picture.


Yeah cause Sony are so honest.

It's business. Once that deal runs out guess what? Another deal is made.

Isn't that the whole point, you get something to complete so you can hurt, not help their sales.
That is how it works.
 
Does the internet really feel this gen will continue in eight years?

They said they’ll honor the renaming exclusive contracts of three years, which next year there’ll be none…making 2025 its last year of exclusivity.

It’ll then be followed by three more years (2026-202:cool: as stated by Jim Ryan’s Letter…which would be nice if they disclosed it in its entirety.

So if and, or, when it were to go through, will Sony be in the hurt with the possibility of no cod game in 2029 for the ps5?

Ps6 and Xs5 2029 or is that when we’re get the mid Gen refresh’s because they haven’t expressed concern/effort in solving the supply shortage.

Yo, maybe that’s why Sony raised the price on the ps5, with no cod next year they’ll have less exclusive revenue coming in, they needed to balance their ledger somehow. Then when it returns they’ll lower it back to launch price…. It all makes sense now /s

You assume but Sony feels otherwise.

Sony might not be fully honest but they are a better brand.

Yeah this thread isn't about which brand is better. From now on and past this point ANY 'my brand is > than your brand' talk will be deleted and if need be thread bans.
The fanboy arguments have a VS thread for that.

Don't care who started it. From now on we are getting back on track. Any posts relating to Sony challenging the deal go in the VS thread. Posts relating to anything else concerning the deal can go in here. Obviously....having people post Sony objections is a touchy subject and it is dangerously steering this conversation into VS talk which I don't care for in here.

Wrong thread sir.
 

The first question it tackled was whether or not the acquisition would result in Xbox making Call of Duty exclusive ("foreclosing," by CMA terminology), something Microsoft has said it has no intention of doing, but is only committing to keep on PlayStation for several years.
 
But I'm quoted. lol


You've been given a chance to show any proof that MS have said they will take COD from PS after 3 years. Haven't done it yet and are now turning it into a clearer narrative of oh I'm just worried Sony will lose ground on MS as it's Dried.

So how about this? Show us anything from MS saying what you've claimed or... be banned from this topic? Sounds fair to me.

Note. Sony's concerns aren't proof.

Note. you are no judge to say what is or isn't proof.
Sony and the CMA are the proof that you clearly can't spin away!
Your feelings can't handle me in this topic.
Me and a non power abusing mod spoke already, Don't threaten me!
f*** this topic and the cry babies in it!! Not worth my time......Ban me from it!
 
PlayStation is it's largest userbase/playerbase.
It makes no sense financially but as I said already I can see MS doing this.
The most obvious reason is to make that money down the road assuming it's largest userbase goes to XB's ecosystem.

Sony wouldn't have much issue with it comment? Huh? Where did I say this and what was the context?

Sony publicly voicing concerns IS PROOF PERIOD.
Yes, I said that.

You see them doing something they have publicly committed not to and goes against what they have planned and makes no financial sense. Lol. Like I said, your view is a console war view.

It was literally in the post I responded too. Come on man. How do you not know what you said.

Sony's fears are not proof of anything. Your opinion has no basis in reality and has literally nothing to back it up.

It's a simple request. 1 article or video from MS saying they are taking COD off PS.

Not Sony's concerns which the CMA are following.

Guys a PAID ambassador who gives a f*** what he says?

They never took a game from it's largest userbase.


It's a fact.

Because taking something away from it's biggest audience is the same as MAKING exclusives lmao

Yup

They can't. Most things besides windows fails. MS is a out of touch company. Look how long they took to fire Bonnie Ross.

Sony owns Insomniac.
Sony owns some Spider-Man properties.
PATHETIC comparison.
You're opinion would be relevant if ABK didn't actually want to be acquired. Same with Bethesda, Insomniac, and every dev Sony paid to keep games off of Xbox. There are always, ALWAYS a buyer and seller. No one was forced to do anything.

The only difference is one company can afford to make huge purchases of publishers. The other one can't. Sony wants to nickel and dime with their old business strategy, they can. Hell, they are!

What's hilarious is that they essentially kept poking the bear fvcking with that nickel and dime BS with a trillion dollar company. What the hell did they think was going to happen? Lol
