I think this is interesting from a business standpoint. For one thing, Microsoft had COD locked down for nearly a decade. For the company to lose marketing rights to arguably the most popular FPS possibly shows its weakening leverage at making deals with 3rd party publishers.
Looking at the PS4's non-holiday and holiday lineup, Sony appears to have a set strategy: release exclusives on non-holiday months while market big 3rd party games during the holidays. Sony probably learned its lesson from releasing LittleBigPlanet 3 last November. It was completely drowned out by the likes of AC: Unity, COD: AW, Far Cry 4, and GTA V. Had the company backed up the release date to Jan/Feb, the game would've sold better (and also, be less buggy).
