Phil just clarified AGAIN under oath that when he says they'll support CoD on PlayStation, they mean ALL future PlayStation futures, not just the PS5. He wanted that clarification under oath to make sure people don't think he's trying to be sneaky and only mean PS5.

Good shit Phil. That was very smart to re-clarify!

i'm confused why buy Activision  if COD is not gonna be exclusive ever.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Business first and foremost and keeping CoD multiplatform is financially by far the most sensible option, CoD is created by thousands of employees, costing hundreds of millions per entry, by about a dozen studios at a time and its largest playerbase is PlayStation consoles, it's also a multiplayer title which needs all those people still playing it, Microsoft has conducted multiple surveys as well which state that the amount of people who would switch to Xbox for CoD would be a small amount.

Simply put if Microsoft made CoD exclusive, they'd lose hundreds of millions in revenue from Call of Duty.

Basically think of it this way "Why buy Mojang if Minecraft is not going to be exclusive" Cause it is simply, far too big, CoD like Minecraft, is simply much too large to justify it going exclusive, Microsoft made a commitment to shareholders that this $69bn would be to grow the Gaming business and making CoD exclusive would have the opposite effect of that.

In addition, a large part of the reason why Microsoft acquired ABK was their mobile potential, King actually makes more money than Blizzard and isn't that far behind Activision but what isn't included in King is Diablo Mobile and CoD Mobile, both of which are massive Mobile titles.
