| Mr Khan said: That would kill at least 1/3rd of Activision's market, that being people not compelled to buy a platform just for Call of Duty, yet who are interested enough in the game and others to buy it I agree with Troll_Whisperer. Vivendi is insane to do this. |
I agree with the first part of your statement because this would suck for Activision if their franchises were to suddenly become exclusive. Activision's whole business model is predicated on selling their games to as many people as possible and on as many platforms as possible. It would probably mean layoffs and devaluation, which in turn would suck even for Microsoft.
However, I disagree with the second (bolded) part because Vivendi doesn't care about the gaming industry......All they want is cash.
Call Of Duty isn't really gonna grow anymore, and neither is Wow.....they can only go down at this point, so they figure they can cash out and make this someone elses problem. Vivendi's not insane at all.......shrewd business people is more like it.
