I do not believe COD will stay on Playstation regardless of what Phil says. It's too big a fish not to haul in. I don't think they'll do it right way, and obviously they're trying super hard not anger Sony's fanbase, but I believe it's inevitable that it becomes an Xbox exclusive. I also think, in the mean time, the day-one Gamepass thing is going to syphon a lot of COD gamers away from Playstation. Not a huge amount, but way more than you'd expect. Because let's face it: when you can pay 1 dollar for a month trial, or 3 dollars for three months, (pretty much all new subscribers get one of the two), that's a huge deal and a lot of gamers are going to be like... three dollars? or sixty dollars plus DLC? And they're going to go the three dollar rout.

Those who own a ps4 or ps5 ? I doubt many will switch to gamepass cause of 1 game. But I am curious now as to how many console owners only play the 1 or 2 games.

SNY should have COD for another year or two. MS will sit back and see what SNY does, because it's unlikely SNY will bend the knee quickly.

If SNY does something about this, with either acquisitions or their own first party reaction to games like COD, then MS will likely lock COD down.

If SNY doesn't react, or their attempts to, fail, then they either have to give in to MS, or take the hit and losses that will certainly come with it.

I'd guess 25 million max, but it's not so much the amount of games, it's how many get the console for COD, then buy a few other games to fill the gaps and for a bit of a change here and there. One of my buddies used to be like this. He'd buy a PS console just for COD, then buy the odd game here and there while waiting for the next COD, even though he only took little breaks from COD period. He's only a casual gamer as well, but COD is his jam.
