Are Gamers To Picky - General Discussion - Giant Bomb

This is the forum thread that Sony is using as evidence, haha.

Who found this, Christ, make me think, a VGChartz thread could have a chance at being used as evidence at this rate.

Sony's evidence and rebuttals are getting really desperate and I think could backfire in annoying CMA.

Hmm.

Yeah, Sony lost me there too. I used to play CoD quite alot, and alot of my friends were what I call CoD casuals. These are people that pretty much only play CoD and maybe some sports games and probably Fortnite now too. I once asked one of them if he planned to play Skyrim and he didn't know what it was. To call the majority of the CoD fanbase, which are the so-called CoD casuals, knowledgeable about the gaming market and gaming hardware, is just a total joke. 

Then Sony cites Digital Foundry and VG Tech and says that their framerate and graphics analyses could sway people to play on Xbox instead of PS5 if CoD runs better on Xbox than PS5. Even if that were true, and most of the people who watch these tech breakdown videos allow those tests to sway which console they play which game on, the latest Digital Foundry CoD test has 151k views while the latest VG Tech CoD test has just 9k. 160k people swayed to play CoD on Xbox instead of Playstation by a tech breakdown video is a drop in a bucket when each CoD games sells over 10m copies lifetime on Playstation.

And of course all of that assumes that Xbox won't develop CoD to have parity, which they already promised regulators they would and said they would hire a 3rd party watchdog to ensure they live up to their promise for the full 10 years they agreed to.

"CoD players are morons who care about things like promotional doritos, xp bonuses and mountain dew gun camo's and Microsoft's unique position to offer this useless crap exclusively on Xbox would be damaging to our business." - Rewrote Sony's argument to make more sense.

Kingdom Hearts Diary Day 4: Had a lot of fun in Atlantis with Ariel and company. Ursula wanted to smoke, but got got. I'm enjoying my 1v1 with Riku, very sad he succumbed to the darkness in his heart Best part of this game was when Donald rushed Ansem and got bitch slapped to next Thursday.

To be continued.

"Call of Duty gamers are passionate, knowledgeable, sophisticated and sexually active, a report from 2018 shows that 70% of Call of Duty players have claimed to have fucked someone else's mother."

"Yeah, I fucked his mother", one Call of Duty player claimed, after losing to another player"

At this point, I feel Sony and Cryin' Ryan are just doing this to appease shareholders. 

Their arguments are so incredibly weak that I think this theory makes sense, Lol.

• Bringing up Redfall when CMA already said weeks ago they know, they don't care, either Sony didn't read the response or they don't care.
• Bringing up Chrome OS weeks after Microsoft said they would bring it to Chrome OS and trying to use a OS geared more towards teachers as a gatcha.
• The ridiculous notion that Sony would never recover if CoD is degraded on PlayStation.
• The ridiculous notion that they would intentionally degrade it to begin with.
• Calling CMA irrational but without anything to back it up.

Etc. It's a regurgitation of a lot of arguments they've already put forward and CMA has already decided they aren't good enough.

I think Sony might appeal to CAT just to further this, their arguments feel extremely desperate now and that is how someone would act if they were trying to appease shareholders and show they are doing everything in their power to stop the deal, even if they look ridiculous, the negative PR is only temporary.

Guess when CoD goes on a two year schedule both Microsoft and Sony will be doomed in those years without CoD. RIP.

W for CoD carrying the entire gaming industry on its back.
