What would you want Sony to trade for CoD on PlayStation?

There really is no substitute for COD but there are already plenty of alternative FPS.  The player base for COD that want to play COD will go the platform that has COD.  Case in point would be Final Fantasy.  There are plenty of Japanese RPGs but there is no substitute for FF.  In the short term this probably does not have that big of an impact on Sony but long term well we will have to see.  If anything, this is MS sending a huge message to the industry that they are very serious about their commitment to the gaming industry and thus all the players are on noticed.

The majority of gamers are unaware of this. The majority are not online forums or watch youtube commentary. They see a game their friends have and buy it. So they will ignore this and keep buying playstations untill then. Then what? Asked them to switch consoles? That's gona be a big ask for a lot of them. Specially 5he younger players. 

Not sure we are talking about the same people. If you are a gamer, and COD is the game you put in many hours and you purchase every COD game that comes out, if the game is not on your current console, you would get the system that it is on.  That does not mean Xbox because MS actually do not care if you get an Xbox or play it on a PC, their gameplan is that you get GamePass.  SO MS really do not care if you still want to get a PS as long as you get a GP sub, they are all cool with that.

Also the younger generation have no problems getting what they want.  I have seen my Son save over 150 bucks for some Sandals because they are popular in school, he saved all his money for it.  When someone wants something, they will find a way to get it.
