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.

Well... that depends. If you were a COD-only type of player who bought a PS5 to play that one game on, you don't really have the same type of loyalty that a Sony gamer does. Those types of people would have gotten a PS5 because they felt it was the better choice to play that one game on. But after this deal, that choice looks a lot more shaky so yeah, I could totally see them selling off their PS5's, making a small profit, then buying an Xbox instead.

As for the people who don't have any next-gen consoles yet, and are still playing COD on PS4... I don't know why they would bother with a PS5 now. Sony gamers, sure. But the people who only play COD? No. It just doesn't make much sense.
