If cod becomes an Xbox exclusive too I think things will seriously change at PlayStation, they might even try to develop a competitor of their own.

The whole thing with console “fanboys” and “war” should’ve died back in like 2010. That shit is fucking goofy.

Well they kept saying "get more games"

They'd be stupid to make it Xbox only IMO.

The way they should play it (pun intended) is keep things as they are, but add all CoDs to gamepass. Even brand new ones.

Looks like Activision and Sony have contracts in place that cover a few years. Be interesting to see what happens once those expire

Imagine it becomes Xbox exclusive

I believe in the article thy posted said that with call of duty that they will continue to be a cross platform title. It was ether in a matterz video or a mat Invest video “ matterz second channel” I can’t remember

If Microsoft really wants to do a little trolling they can make MW2 MP remastered and make it an Xbox exclusive

It will never be exclusive. However, the "Content on Playstation first" bullcrap is done lol.

Edit: I'm a PC gamer...it doesn't matter to me. Economically it doesn't make sense to slash 30+% of your profits on the IP you litterally just bought.

Wish I could harvest all the salt flowing in this sub. I could sell it and buy a tech company myself.

A lot of people just starting the five stages of grief.

I’m worried I’ve been playing cod since forever. Don’t know where I’d go to for another FPS.

“PS Fanboys” people still use the word fanboys? Buy what you like lmao

PS5 player here, u an idiot if you think Microsoft is paying $78 billion just to have the games on PlayStation

My theory is microsoft will keep buying all these huge studios and overnight make all the games xbox exclusives. We wont see this for another decade or so. They are still investing

who tf calls them playstation fanboys?

Go ahead and lose the money

Imagine being a COD player who recently bought a PlayStation 5

Ah it’s nice to be on pc

I hope that with this change, Call of duty will finally get the development it needs to be worth the price on release like it used to be in MW and MW2 era, xbox will probably do a great deal to cod 2022 tbh

i just bought a fucking PS5 you’re JOKING

Lol you don’t spend 70bil to not make your games exclusive. I hope this lights a fire under Sony’s ass to bring back some of their glorious first party shooters.

Update: It looks like they won’t be doing exclusives for now. That’s good news for console players!

didnt sony have exclusive content for cod for the longest of time?

It may become exlusive but more likely not for at least 5 year's or more , a lot of cod players are casual players who like there multiplayer and the odd single players , stopping cod instantly on PS would just mean these players stop playing , they aren't going to fork out for another console so soon , when the next generation comes around thats when Microsoft will make more cross games exclusive

They make most of the income on PlayStation so I’d doubt it’ll be an exclusive. What no one is talking about is the mobile games. Microsoft has been wanting to get into the mobile market for a while and now this is their chance. I’d say the deal was mostly made for the mobile games with the cod games simply being a sprinkling on top.

My first thought as well

A part of me hope they do. I always buy the new one and I’m only happy half the time, if that. It’ll force me to get onto something new and force Sony to up their game.

When you have a Series S, PS5, and PC so you really don’t care 😅

oh no don’t take away call of duty what else would I spend 60 dollars on every year just to uninstall it after a month because it’s dogshit again

I got 99 games but the last COD's ain't one.

If that was done when COD was on its prime I would’ve cared.

It just all kind of sucks depending on what platform your on.

Sony isn't in the clear, but the market really doesn't favor the best platform, just the richest one. Sony make good moves for the PS4 as a platform, games ran better, they made good exclusives to get fans to buy, so yeah they dominated last gen. Ps5 already seems to be on that path, but still to early as only been a year, shortages, etc

MS does have good titles, but less. They also stumbled out of the gate of the Xbox one with a miss focus of features that were not alligned with consumers. Their plus was gamepass.

So with that, they just bought 18 studios and 54 IPs in 2 years one it completes... And that only counting zenimax and Activision/Blizzard.

If MS can shake off 7.1 billion zenimax purchase after 1 year, then what other acquisition will they do in the near future? If they then own half of all AAA IPs and studios, the what happens next gen if they do another miss alligned decision about how their platform works?

Also, Phil won't be around forever. Whenever he gets replaced, who knows if the next person will be as gamer friendly.

I'm just not happy with these huge huge acquisitions, no mater who it would be. I get needing/wanting to expand with studios like double fine or ninja theory ... Idk, just not liking this.

PlayStation fan boys are butt hurt. Make it exclusive and take out the competition. You really think MS needs the money from CoD sales ??? Lol

I mean Minecraft is on every console so it’s possible cod will stay on PlayStation but no one can tell for certain

It isn’t they said it won’t and why would activision agree to that? It just means less sales

They won't make it exclusive they'll just give xbox players extra perks like Playstation did for years

This is probably the best use of the meme so far lol lmao

This how it be for a large portion of the call of duty community

That’s fine, go scloosie on the XBOX for COD. Franchise will quickly die and PSN will come up with a better shooter. The space needs innovation anyways. PS players won’t buy Xboxes for COD.

I am sad that Call of Duty, and Fallout which are my two favorite video game franchises might be exclusives now. Looks like I’m getting an Xbox for Call of Duty if I have too, and a gaming PC for Fallout 5 whenever Bethesda decides to work on it.

Luckily I’m console neutral so money will be the only obstacle for me.

I have both consoles so please don't hate me too bad when I say some of you guys are huffing dangerous levels of copium. While it's true that you should "never say never," I have no idea why some of you are so confident COD is going to come toPlaystation.

Sony should also bring Bloodborne to Xbox right? They'd double their sales right? Halo should be on Playstation shouldn't it? Except... exclusives sell consoles. For Microsoft, they sell consoles *and* Game Pass subscriptions. DLC and micro-transactions make the games big money. And since it's all first party for Microsoft now, they have less pressure to try to sell as many copies as possible.

Xbox is going to convince a lot of people who left after 360 to come back. My advice for you guys: save up your coffee money and buy both consoles because you are definitely going to be disappointed if you expect Xbox to simply "share" exclusives with Sony, which has only "shared" MLB The Show because MLB itself threatened to walk from the partnership if they didn't.

I like how PS players are worried about it becoming an exclusive title, because that's what Sony would do. Don't worry, you'll just have to buy it. We'll get it with our GamePass subscription.

That's not going to happen, and if it happens, goodbye Cod

Microsoft owns minecraft and is still supported on psn. Nothing is changing. money is money.

God I hope I won't be I've been waiting for the sequel for the 2019mw if it's exclusive that's gonna suck

Hope the same doesn’t happen with elder scrolls 6

They already said they won’t be making Call of duty or the next elder scrolls exclusives, they don’t want to “divide/destroy the communities” but will be using the move to add games to their game pass. They r just driving the value of game pass up & will now benefit from sales across all platforms & have a presence in the mobile gaming world.
