The best part about this list is that MS didn't count as a major publisher because they released so few games.

Nah, the best part is that Activision Blizzard didn't count as a major publisher anymore.

What IPs apart from CoD Activision has left that are not part of Blizzard? Seriously none comes to my mind

Nice work. Though 1 correction, Moss was self-published by Polyarc, Sony merely marketed it.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

That's not much of a hint...



Hilarious.
