Like I said, words mean nothing in business only binding contracts. Since Phil stated he is willing to sign such a contract that will be the only thing that truly settle the question or issue. Personally, COD is a small price to pay for what MS truly wants so I am sure they just want the deal done and if COD is what holding it up, they are more than willing to keep making money on PS system with COD while they continue to add value to GP and reach out to the platform they really want to dominate which is mobile devices. Being able to stream full COD on any mobile device using GP is probably the ultimate goal and MS really is not trying to compete with Sony any more but instead looking in a totally different direction.
