Unless you mean that Sony cannot replicate Call of Duty's success, which I do agree is a monumental task, but not all Microsoft IP have close to the pull that COD does. Something like TES? Sony can definitely replicate in terms of success based on their portfolio. Also, not sure why you're not factoring Bungie into the equation. Destiny is up there with Apex Legends and Fortnite as one of the most successful GaaS models of the last generation. Sony not having previous success with online shooters is irrelevant when Bungie is now part of the fold. |

Though maybe that's because Sony is always copying everyone else, which apparently they can't do that either? Sure, Sony made somewhat of an attempt in the past, but are we really comparing MS and XB right now in 2022, (who still don't own Activision Blizzard just yet but probably will), to Sony and PS back in like 2006? From 2006 to 2022 PS hasn't been able to diversify or improve? So Nintendo made Splatoon, which is quite different from COD so you say, yet is comparable to Sony potentially attempting to copy COD? Nintendo doesn't have a blue ocean, stay out of Sony and MS way type of business plan? So Sony, nor anyone for that matter could copy COD, and on top of that, Sony also couldn't make a different COD like Nintendo has with Splatoon, and it wouldn't become a big thing and wouldn't hurt COD in any way? I guess I could just end the entire discussion with, can Game Pass ever truly work? No! I guess that's that then. Unfortunately I need to take into account your Sony third party is screwed point. Who wouldn't like to ignore it, but it's kind of important, because if the MS plan is to just buy all the food so Sony starves, well then, that's definitely the kind of company everyone wants to cheer for and be a part of. I bend the knee and kiss the Halo ring in allegiance to MS, lord of all service lands. How can I be of service to you, Prince Phil, Duke of Xbox? |
Their "Halo killer" and "Super Smash killer" still can't beat Halo or Super Smash, let alone CoD.
