Maybe now people will understand why I kept arguing that Elderscrolls being exclusive is not a given based on MS's pattern of behaviour and past statements on their big aquisitions... or do people now expect COD to also skip PS5 this year?

Insanely huge consolidation. I wonder if Sony will be forced to respond (maybe with something like Take-Two).

COD will be exclusive and turn into free to play like Infinite.

Sony do not have that kind of cash, and Take-Two wouldn't sell to Sony.

Sony should probably consider becoming third party or become a all in VR company. The latter I would like to see, it is not like we need two companies sharing 99% of all games anyway.

There's already a free to play COD lol

The most dramatic scenario will be MS using COD as an ultimatum to have Gamepass on Playstation and that still seems a generation away
