If cod ain't on PS5 the casuals will just buy an xbox. You can get a refurbished seriesS now for £200, perfect for screaming cod kids.
PlayStation: Xbox's Call of Duty offer was "inadequate on many levels"

I don't see it. He's basically just confirmed everything Phil already said. Only difference is he's bitching and calling it "inadequate." That's literally all that's happened. MS isn't lying to anyone in the middle of a large acquisition reviewed by governments around the world. People here just can't read.jimbo putting his dick on the table

Everyone understands that GamePass will not remain $15/month forever. All Microsoft has to do is prove that any price increase is justified by the amount of games/content that is offered. I think buying Activision is a big step in that.

Your calculus would only work if it wasn't Microsoft funding the project. If anything, Microsoft may increase the funding once they get a hold of COD.

Xbox had "high quality" final fantasy games for 14 years, then Sony paid to make FF7 Remake exclusive to playstation.
Xbox also had Spiderman games for 16 years till again Sony paid to keep them only on their platform.
Xbox also had high quality street fighter titles for 12 years and again you paid to keep it from Xbox.
I could probably go on and on, but it just comes across as a bit silly.
It kinda goes both ways Mr Ryan, you're happy to take from others, but cry when it happens to you.
I don't think COD is all that important or as big as it use to be either, as destiny 2, apex legends, R6 Siege all have more players than any mainline cod game currently.
& I think Sony could make their own title to rival it.

They'll be owned by Microsoft money ain't gonna be an issue. Also Microsoft will just let them do what they've been doing just like Bethesda. It will also attract PS over to Xbox or PC COD is bigger than the platforms its on.

I'm sorryShots fired
but how is this some shots fired on a contradicting stance. I mean are we really acting like the same tactics by Sony wasn't done with third party companies to lock games and delay DLC From other platforms but MS is buying the company and he is whining about why won't you keep your games on our console? I mean can we go ahead and get an official release of God of War on the Series S/X?

I know the history. Your missing the point. Just like Cod its a game that was everywhere and a good seller now only on PS. An exclusivity that benefits Sony to MS detriment, no different.

Several = more than two but not many. That's the definition, and 3 more years additional years after current contract is in that definition.
How so? Now Final Fantasy isn't a major franchise?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Doesn't matter.
Sony threw a punch and MS replied with a spinning pile driver.
Oh my god this is spitting facts. Literally the first thing that came to mind. Like damn does Jimbo just want Xbox to produce all their games while PlayStation goes around money hatting games to stay off Xbox/gamepass, while MS has to leave all of their most popular IP's on Sony's console??? An we can't even get fucking final fantasy… but deathloop an cod an etc contracts have to be beyond honored… bruh

Phil's PR to the media: "It's about giving all gamers a choice."
Phil Behind the scenes:
he is giving you a choice of xbox or windows.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
I dont understand how people cant differentiate between buying a whole ass publisher and buying a few timed. third party exclusives.I'm sorry

You mean like bungie who will stay multiplatform including xbox literally announced the same time as the purchase with no Spencer grade pr bullshit play on words?
Exactly
Jim is complaining when Phil does more for Playstation users than he would, AND DOES, for Xbox users whom he, using its dominant position in the console market, hasn't stopped pestering for 8 years with AAA Third franchises already well established on XBOX as well as COD on PS.
What's more, it's funny to see that he complains about the possibility that COD on Xbox becomes better than on PlayStation when that's what he has done these 8 years paying for extras, DLCs and even more optimized versions on PS consoles than on XBOX.
It's called hypocrisy and arrogance.

Well it depends where you own the home. Some jurisdictions give rights to the renter allowing them to remain in the property and even dictate what you can charge them in rent.

I don't understand anything about acquisitions. Does it really look so bad? What happens if Uk is against it? Is Xbox brand then banned in Uk only?
Lol Sony is the main platform that takes away games from gamers

You do know MS is a 2 trillion dollar company and COD is available on mobile, consoles and PC. It not being on PS anything is NOT an issue. Come on brah

Well hypothetically it's the same COD teams and Microsoft has infinite money to fund the cinematic campaigns and high end graphics.Will Xbox be able to produce the same quality CoD without the PS gamer market and 100% reliance on GamePass?

Cod is connected to the PS brand just as Final Fantasy. Now look at revenue numbers from both franchises and you'll be amazed at how these aren't comparable.

Yep. I couldnt believe Jimbo was going out there snatching up timed exclusives thinking he could outbit a $3 TRILLION company with his mere $100 billion parent company.
Jimbo went out and got Deathloop, and Phil was like Bitch, I just bought the airline.
Shouldve spent that timed exclusive money on giving internal studios more men so they could release games faster.

Reasonable people understand the differences just fine. People who feel things moving when MS buys a publisher cannot though.

This is literally the biggest gaming deal that ever happened.
Because that's what Sony can afford to do an any other form of business strategic partnerships and acquisitions aren't fair cuz Sony can't do it too…
At least that's what I understand from the hypocrisy, hard to tell.

Jim sounds like a little bitch tbh
COD was connected more with the 360 than the PS3. COD2 was a launch title on the 360 (and it never came to the PS3).

If you think having 2 final fantasy games exclusive is the same as buying a huge ass publisher that has the biggest yearly game out there you can apply that gif tou you lmao

They're both doing it. And Sony has bought several multiplat studios which has only released games on Playstation afterwards and they pay for exclusivity all the time and even have multi-year deals without any solid info when or if they'll end, they're literally the industry experts at this, Jim even managed to take away MS 1st party studio games lol

Bungie will continue to independently publish all their games moving forward, and Sony agreed to this. Sony literally has no power over where Bungie wants to put their games on.
