What's the benefit of this again? XB1 owners will get DLC earlier than PS4? At this point I dont think that'll make a difference.

I think Sony and Activision already know it's going to be huge sucess and will sell the best on PS4.  If rumours are true I guess letting Activision get some free money from MS is the idea?

If for the esports community and the CoD fans that like to get the DLC first. It's also a Black Ops game so it should help sell consoles.

Sony had a 5 year deal that started in 2013. That would mean they would still have marketing rights.

Started 2015 with Black Ops 3. MS had it for Ghosts and Advanced Warfare.  Deal was for the 3 year dev cycle. The cycle ended with sledgehammer last year and starts all over with Treyarch so the deal is done unless Sony renews.

 I don’t see why Sony wouldn’t renew. Having that exclusive console during the holidays definitely helps bolster sales a bit. We’ll see how it goes though.
