Awesome cause thats what we need... Cod needs to die and if this will make them have a drop in sales! I am happy

COD will not die. COD is immortal. COD is life. So sayeth our Savior Captain Price.

Why do we want games like CoD to die? With all the money the make from it, doesn't this allow them to be able to fund games like Destiny? People just hate on CoD just to hate on it.

3rd party deals really only favor one. The company paying for the exclusive content...and maybe not even then depending on what was paid for the content.

Also, If its a loss for sony then its a loss for Activision. Its not like people are going to go buy an X1 for one game. Considering the popularity of PS4 and sales almost double X1 worldwide...activision would probably feel less enthusiastic about a MS partnership at the moment.

This!!! And Software sells Hardware so it's always awesome for Microsoft to make exclusive deals with 3rd Party!!!


well, PS4 still selling more than X1 so is not that awesome anymore

And not a very big loss, practically insignificant being it is only time exclusivety.

People want the industry to cater to their tastes.  Personally I do not care about Call of Duty or Destiny, but I have no issue with others liking them.

You forgot that Activision get money from Microsoft for exclusive content or exclusivity so that should not be a problem for activision and Microsoft ;)

XBox One is already officially the console of choice for COD Tournaments and this is a big deal for Microsoft ;)



doesn't matter who is doing it i think this practice is bad all around
