Aww. That's cute. Lemme guess; you're one of those low key Sony fanboys who own all the systems and a beastly PC, am I right?
Who gives a shit if I prefer Xbox? Are you paying for my shit? Fuck no. Don't worry about where I spend my money, chief.
Secondly, I don't care what side of the tracks my dude resides on. His opinion was beyond meta.

The day it goes exclusive you get guarantee whatever the last COD released on Playstation will have the highest userbase for next few COD's

I can believe it, the IP just does too well not to. Although Xbox is obviously going to get the timed DLC back, or maybe they scrap that idea?

You shouldn't do either to be honest. with one you could lose some of the pieces and have a bunch of paper money to clean up. With the other you might break her hip which would make the following sex uncomfortable.

Who knows, they might continue playing CoD on PS devices via the then-newly-released Game Pass app on PS4/5
Along with the newly-released and revamped PS Now on Xbox Series.
That's some end time shit right.

Why would PS remain the most popular platform for COD when PS will not be getting those games soon? It's common sense!

You only need to look at what they've done so far and you've got your answer.
Psychonauts 2, not part of an existing agreement, not on PS5(native).
Starfield, not part of an existing agreement also not coming to PS4/5
ESVI not part of an existing agreement, confirmed not coming to PS5.
Redfall not part of an existing agreement, confirmed not coming to PS4/5.
This years COD and possibly the next will depending on agreements and thats it.
Blizzard games? can't see any of them releasing outside the xbox platform going forward, except maybe OW2.
Existing live service games, ESO, FO76 warzone (until they make 2.0) etc stick around, everything else? Forget about it.
Minecraft and spin offs come out on all platforms because that was part of the contract when they bought mojang.
But what about all that money they are leaving on the table amirite?
Think that covers it.

why be nice to them when they've never returned the kindness. I mean obviously CoD wasnt going to be an exclusive just like Minecraft isnt but Sony deserves to be treated like shit from them imo after the xbox one/ps4 E3 and crossplay fiasco. Too bad people after to be professional and shit lol.

Exactly, outside of our small buble casuals have no idea about the acquisitions or who Activision is. They would only notice once there's a new COD that is not releasing on PS5 and even then, most of them will stick to Warzone or look for other alternatives available on PS5 first.haha I love these hilarious takes, people are so convinced they need to try and convince others now

Everyone that plays games casual or not knows who activision is.This news already sparked conversations at work amongst casuals. Lucky for MS a lot of people didn’t grab a ps5 already. Now the casual late have time to switch

Lol exaclty, and cods sales have slowed down - I believe a month later after release around December they were doing a free weekend trial for vanguards MP (not sure about the story mode). That’s normally unheard off.. Warzone is what the majority of players play now, its free obviously but It feels like the audience doesn’t really play traditional MP as much.

COD sales have slowed down because the last 2 have been objectively worse than the one before and still are among best selling games in any given year. Cold war also had a free weekend around the same time I believe.
Modern Warfare 2 will do absolute gangbusters just like 2019.
They should just keep cold war and MW and move to every other year IMO. Releasing shit like Vanguard and breaking Warzone in the process does nothing but hurt the franchise.

Remember you said this when COD is yet again the highest selling (or second to an EA sports game) game of 2022 on every platform it releases on. Vanguard was despite what you just said.

I actually don’t think putting COD on Gamepass is the best idea, especially on day one. COD is way too big of a franchise to put on a subscription service. That would be huge for Gamepass, but I don’t think it’s necessary or makes sense financially. Most people will happily pay $70 to play a new COD every year or so.
They probably would make much more money selling COD as opposed to cheap Gamepass subscriptions. Gamepass is generally more suited to games that are less popular, indie, niche or older. It’s like throwing Spider-Man 2 on PS plus or Spartacus day one.

the "it's too good to be true" value purpose is the entire point of gamepass...all first party ms games so ffar had a day one gamepass release, even with big releases like the new halo, forza or gears

There's also the fact that a subscription is far more valuable to MS than a single $70 purchase.

True, but COD is more popular and sells more than all those Microsoft games combined times 5. It would be a huge get for Gamepass definitely, but financially they will probably bleed money for quite awhile. After spending almost $70 billion, I’m wondering if that’s the best strategy for them.

As i said it's pretty obvious which way this will go, but some just refuse to believe that Microsoft will make COD an exclusive title, guess they care more about the franchise than they like to admit.

I think Diablo IV may have been signed on for all current platforms. It was announced like 3 years ago from today if I'm not mistaken.
Did they mention any platforms around the announcement period ?

Doesn't matter if it was announced for a platform. Unless they have some sort of deal in place or its coming in the next 12 months forget about it. Think Starfield was announced for all platforms back in the day? It was definitely in development at some point for Playstation.

All Microsoft first party games launch on game pass. All of them. COD will too. That’s the whole point - to get people on game pass.
It seems that lots of people here don’t understand how big and rich Microsoft is. They don’t care about a piddly $500mil a year revenue from game sales. They care about getting recurring revenue 10x that per month. They do that by making it an irresistible offer, and they do that by launching games like COD on it.
Games don’t “sign on” for platforms. Unless Acti/Bliz signed a timed exclusivity contract with Sony for Diablo 4, the fact alone that it was going to release on PS5 doesn’t mean anything. The PS5 version could be complete and they would still cancel it unless contractually obligated to release it.
Intention to release a game doesn’t mean you are contractually obligated to release said game.

At least there is one other person on this forum with some sense.
Obviously the next COD will, Overwatch 2 is rumored to be tied to the original game so yeah. Diablo, if its coming before next summer then yeah your correct again, bet you gamble on 1 horse races as well.
Quote me on this, I bet the sun come up tomorrow.

Did Microsoft release Halo Infinite MP on PS5? It's a free multiplayer game that generates constant income monthly.

The leaked marketing deal document Sony had with RE Village mandated that in addition to release the game on PS -full featured and day one-, it can't be included on any non-Sony game subscription during a year starting to count from the game release, and after this year 4 months more if Sony wants to negotiate to include it or not on Sony's subscription, having Sony the exclusivity of first and last negotiation. Plus Sony also got exclusivity for hardware bundles of the game and any other sequel, prequel, spinoff, collection or vr version.Who knows, they might continue playing CoD on PS devices via the then-newly-released Game Pass app on PS4/5
So who knows if they signed a similar deal for unreleased CoD games of this generation. In that case the game would be released on PS (full featured and without Xbox timed console exclusive) but not in the PS (or in any other) version of GP during that period.

You're comparing a franchise that has always been synonymous with the Xbox brand. Not sorry, are you retarded?

The bear of bad news
The money it makes is still peanuts to MS.
They only bought this shit to make Gamepass stronger. As soon as the contracts go so does COD.

Funny since Xbox consoles were basically impossible to find before this news and PS5s are still equally impossible to find after this news.
Please let me know where you get your information.

The poster said those games will come to playstation, as they generate loads of money and Microsoft doesnt care what platform you play on. If that was the case they'd stick Halo on PlayStation. To make more money.
Theres more to this than just money thats his whole point.
its not hard to understand, are you retarded?

Halo isn't close to as big of a franchise as COD.
I think in NA that Gears would be a bigger money than Halo if it went multiplatform though.

No, you don't understand. MS bought Activision so that they could continue to release it as a multiplatform and "recoup" the money they spent. Makes perfect sense! You don't just leave all that money on the table! Call of Duty must be on the Playstation, or else Activision and MS will go out of business!

You said if it was about money they would stick Halo on PlayStation.
Halo isn't as big as COD.
Keeping COD on PS is much more significant in the money making part than Halo.
